WASHINGTON Dec 30 (Reuters) - The eight American civilians killed in a suicide bombing at a military base in southeastern Afghanistan on Wednesday were all CIA agents, CNN reported, citing an unnamed senior U.S. official.

CNN gave no other details. The explosion, at a military base in Khost province near the border with Pakistan, caused one of the highest foreign civilian death tolls in an insurgent strike in the eight-year war.

Good. Hopefully, the Taliban will get their act together and capture the ISAF commander, and hold him hostage until NATO gets out of their country.

Obama and Leon just got 8 well trained CIA folks killed!

Yes, I put the blame on both of them for this injustice and even more so Obama for putting this lackey Panetta HEAD OF THE F’CKIN CIA (Janet Napolitano Homeland Security also WTF )! Obama shut up Leon earlier this year while he cut Leon’s spending and did not defend what Leon’s peers asked him to do: Shut Obama up and let us do our job!

We also have 3 US SEALS on trial!

This is a crisis to me when Obama’s plan of attack (yes Obama not Bush) gets 8 CIA agents killed! Do I have to read foreign f’in press to get objective answers or is the media still way to f^ed up here to keep taking bribes from this arsewipe of a … he’s not a President!

“The four Canadians and the journalist from the Calgary Herald were killed when their armored vehicle was hit by a bomb in southern Kandahar province on Wednesday, the Canadian Defense Ministry said.

The base in Khost province, Forward Operating Base Chapman, was engaged in reconstruction projects, a key part of U.S. President Barack Obama’s strategy to stabilize the country.

Some people were wounded in the explosion, defense officials said, but no U.S. or NATO troops were among them.”

Leon E. Panetta:

Leon E. Panetta, Institute Co-founder”The Panetta Institute and its annual lecture series were the inspiration of former congressman and White House chief of staff Leon E. Panetta, who recently returned to full-time government service as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

A Monterey native and Santa Clara Law School graduate, Leon began his long and distinguished public service career in 1964 as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and upon discharge he went to work in Washington as a legislative assistant to U.S. Senate minority whip Tom Kuchel of California. In 1969 he was appointed director of the U.S. Office for Civil Rights, where he was responsible for enforcing equal education laws, and he later served briefly as executive assistant to the mayor of New York City. He then returned to Monterey, where he practiced law until his election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976.

Serving his Central Coast district in Congress for sixteen years, Leon was a key participant in agriculture, healthcare and federal budget issues, and from 1989 to 1993 he chaired the House Budget Committee. He authored a wide range of legislation, including the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988, Medicare and Medicaid coverage of hospice care for the terminally ill, and numerous measures to protect the California coast, including creation of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

In 1993 he left Congress to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget for the incoming Clinton administration. There he was instrumental in developing the policies that led to a balanced federal budget and eventual budget surpluses. In 1994 he accepted appointment as the President’s chief of staff, and over the next three years brought order and focus to White House operations and policy making.”

Panetta CIA? Are you f’in kidding me? We’re better off with f’in Simon Cowell because at least people listen to him!
