"It's all such a close call. The right people really were scorned and angered today.Amazing, isn't it - it's always about them. They're all upset because Obama didn't get their permission first -- and because he brought in an outsider rather than some CIA hack beholden to the Rockefeller/Feinstein feifdom -- so they go and undercut Obama and Panetta publicly over nothing more than their own feelings of resentment. What empty, little people they are."
Too right they are. But their petulance alarmingly indicates something else. It's a sign of how utterly compromised they have become. The less real power some people have the more neurotically important and more crucial it becomes to them that certain protocols real and imagined are observed. It can be evidence of displacement activity.
