Dear readers, read the article about how Panetta, the Secretary of our War Department and recently our chief spook, spoke to Marines after they were disarmed. The Obama Administration keeps getting more disgusting each day. This is a shameful thing to do to those who are sworn to defend the Constitution and it's representatives. What were they supposed to do if something would have happened, defend with their Kabars?

"In a sign of the nervousness surrounding the visit, Marines and other troops among the 200 people gathered in a tent at Camp Leatherneck to hear Mr. Panetta speak were abruptly asked by their commander to get up, place their weapons — M-16 and M-4 automatic rifles and 9-mm pistols — outside the tent and then return unarmed. The commander, Sgt. Maj. Brandon Hall, told reporters he was acting on orders from superiors.
“All I know is, I was told to get the weapons out,” he said. Asked why, he replied, “Somebody got itchy, that’s all I’ve got to say. Somebody got itchy; we just adjust.”
Normally, American forces in Afghanistan keep their weapons with them when the defense secretary visits and speaks to them. The Afghans in the tent were not armed to begin with, as is typical." NYT
