"From at least the mid-1970s until 1986, President Barack Obama‘s nomination for Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, had a close personal friendship with Hugh DeLacy, a Santa Cruz, California activist and a life long Marxist-Leninist. Then Congressman Panetta and DeLacy exchanged letters over many years – almost all of which dealt with defense and foreign policy issues. Many involved requests by DeLacy for information, policy papers, etc., which Panetta went out of his way to supply. What Panetta hopefully did not know was that in the year before this correspondence began, Hugh DeLacy had been in the People’s Republic of China meeting with three men, all at one time accused of having spied for the Soviet Union. One of them, Solomon Adler, was at that time, reliably reported to be a senior advisor to the Chinese intelligence services" Panetta is far from impartial, you only have to check his history to find out what a snake he is, fits in quite well with the Obama Administration .

All you have to do is Google "leon panetta's communist affililiatons" To find out what an underhanded rat he is, another one of Obama's Communist buddies Surely, you remember when Obama said that you would know who he (Obama) was, by the people he associated with, this is just another one of the rats on Obama's list

He means freeze the construction of illegal settlements and go back to the damn table. Never under estimate Italian Leon Panetta

Israel has been sitting at the table all along because she is still constructing illegal settlement on Palestian lands illegally. Wise-up

Israel should listen to Lion Panetta very seriously. He means what he says and never unestimate him.

You have a big mouth. Never underestimate Italian Leon Panetta. He means what he says. The US congress and the senate respect him and always listen to him. What will happen is all Arab nations including Egypt, Jordan and Turkey tell Israel "NO PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP UNTIL YOU LEAVE ALL OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN LANDS".

You are just digging your own grave. American is the pillar for Israel to exist. Wake-up and wise-up.

Sounds like Panetta is blaming Israel for his administrations failed policies which brought Islamists into power in Gaza, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Morroco and Libya. The next administration will be forced to deal with a nuclear armed Iran!

Let's not forget who appointed this empty suit to his position. Thank you again, Barry....

Harold is one of many morons that most Americans like me have to live with. He represents the minority and will know that come the next elections. A few more months and then Israel will have a true partner in the USA. The liberals/communists/progressives/socialist in the USA are a dying breed.

A little more prostration in front of the supremacist Islamic groups will NOT advance peace, rather will exascerbate it. How can the US leaders be so tragically incompetent in their understanding Middle East dynamics? Why are the US leaders obsessed with such willful dishonesty in their assessment of events and facts?

America in this very tricky game looks washed up over there. When is someone going to let Washington in on the secret? The American people are fed up with this madness. We can't afford anymore of it. When is the crazed two-party syndrome going to get in on the secret? Any other people would have burned Washington down by now, but we're good little boys and girls, doing what we're told by Uncle Sammy. A terrible situation.

Taliban, Iran & Cuba Panetta may spew. As for stability and US assurances tell that to Eastern Europe at Yalta and no-longer-existing: South viet Nam, Pres Mubarak, Shah of Iran, democratic Lebanon, peaceful Iraq, democratic Afghanistan, Venezuela & neighbor Cuba.. Libya is not tranquil. Russia and US are some partners. This Obama mouthpiece continues to denigrate Israel while Obama seeks votes

Mr. Panetta, why don't you cut the military aid to "Israel" ? do it, then they will kiss your hand.

Israel will exist with or without us. You underestimate Israel. You and Panetta both have a big mouth. Mr. Panetta and Hillary went behind Obama's back and got Bin Laden which is all well and good but he isn't as wonderful as you think. You need to take your own advice and wise up and wake up.

First, the U.S. has to set an example by cutting off all aid to the so-called Palestinian's, who are nothing but bunch of schnorrers, who are claming something that they never had in the first place, a Palestine that never had its own government, Capital City or even a few crummy coins they could say the made for themselves Go peddle your tuchas elsewhere, nobody is buying it here

There never was an Independent entity named Palestine, No Government of its very own, not even a Capital City, much less a few coins they minted for themselves How about naming the last three Independent Palestinian Rulers? Or tell us where their Capital City was Located? There is no such thing as "Palestinian Land", there never was, I DEFY YOU TO PROVE IT TO BE OTHERWISE As a matter of fact, neither Palestine or Jerusalem are mentioned in the Quran, not even once!! Which serves to prove that your claim is total crock of crap

Do you know that the United States created Israel and can distroy it any time. Be careful what you say against Mr Panetta.

Be careful what you comment. Without the US Sixth Fleet help Israel would never have won the 1967 war and occupy Sinai desert. The US still treats Israel as its child but cannot do that forever.

Never forget Panetta is the Secretary of Defense of the most power country on this plannet and I am surprised someone like you talking against him. Idiot.

Present Obama is not corrupt as others who take money from AIPAC who are called bribees. The words corrupt and corruption is very popular in Israel. Just read your newspapers and find out how many high class officials including Prime Ministers are occused for corruption

You and your followers always land an obstecale not to give up the occupied lands. I wonder how many more obstecales you have saved for the future.

Just imagine who is commenting against the most powerful Secretary of Defence on this planet. If you are free to abuse good people because you own few nucelar bombs, be 100 percent sure they can be instantly nutralized by this powerful man. Wise-up

I guess ignorance is bliss. You have no idea what you are talking about. Of, course, you're one of the liberals who voted for Obama...thus, your love affair with this idiot In the article. Do some reading before you spout-off about occupied lands and such. Israel has claims on the dating back at least 3500 years ago. And, as far as the Palestinian question: you better go back and read real history about where the name and identity, of Palestine, truly comes from. You have been forced-fed a bunch BS. So take of your liberal blinders...and search for real truth...it's out there! God bless Israel!

Big Money Hollywood mogul (Weinstein) opinion reflects the Jewish elite views: "Bill O’Reilly: What is it about Pres Obama that appeals to you? Harvey Weinstein: He’s a man of great intellect and a man of great moral character. He’s a knowledgeable man." This statement stands without comment and it's the true mindset of the American influential Jewry. It's hopeless.

Never under estimate Mr. Obama's election power. I am a Republican but will vote for Obama because he is the only right man who can solve the world's problems including the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. You sound like a Zionist with rotten ideas.

Just as soon as you come up with some proof that the Palestinian's ever owned the land they're claiming For starters, what were the Borders of your fictional Palestine? Who were its last three INDEPENDENT RULERS? Where was the Capital City located, Where can we view some actual coinage they minted for themselves?? BTW- Your Quran makes absolutely no mention of a Palestine or Jerusalem You have a big mouth, sound off with the answers to my easy questions

What an idiot. Diplomacy like American diplomacy in the region? Like invade and conquer? Why is Israel expected to negotiate with sick terrorists with no value for life who want nothing more than to wipe her off the face of the earth - while America can diplomatically deal with iraq, pakistan, afgan, etc with fire power. Why is Israel expected to concede anything? Also - take a look at the islamification of the region and understand Israel's isolation - America had no small part in the demise of Egypt.... not a good thing for Israel... He should shut up - especially in an election year - at least Obama is pretending to be supportive....!

tell it to pals--talk for talk sake has brought them into polite society ...no pal leaders can deliver on any deal anyway and they are the hold up
