Panetta to become Sec. of Defense- Petreaus ot CIA

[Liquid Karma]

Wonder if this means the CIA will be ramping up paramilitary activity/black ops.

I think Obama is on record as saying he wants a shift to a move intelligence driven military apparatus with the ability to execute smaller, surgical strikes.

Both of the appointments sound good to me.

Thanks. Embarrassed to say, but I've been willfully ignorant of what's been going on in the news since I came back from being over there; felt like I needed a break from EVERYTHING. Trying to get caught up on current events can be tough.

Petreaus to the CIA is just further proof that the military does the bidding of the CIA. We now have a for profit military working directly for the corporations. This is some serious blurring of the lines.
