Mr. Leon Panetta is my type of man. Not only is he a Roman Catholic, but he speaks real and does not worry about his p's and q's for the lame media which I despise.

With Blunt, Salty Talk, Panetta Era Begins
Humor and bluntness aside (“I’m Italian, what the frick can I tell you?” Mr. Panetta said in an interview on Monday with NBC News), the new defense secretary’s focus in the job is in striking contrast to that of the self-contained Mr. Gates. While Mr. Gates’s priorities were stabilizing Afghanistan and concluding the war in Iraq, Mr. Panetta told the troops in Baghdad of a different top goal: “No. 1, quite frankly, is to defeat Al Qaeda.”
Mr. Panetta’s focus on the terrorist franchise responsible for the 9/11 attacks naturally reflects where he hung his pinstriped suit jacket until last month: the director’s office at the Central Intelligence Agency. But he also personifies the Obama administration’s aim of shifting from a troop-heavy counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan, where the United States sought to win over the locals by building schools and good government, to a narrower mission of hunting down insurgents in commando raids.
Mr. Panetta’s aides say that this is how wars will be fought now,
