WASHINGTON (AP) — AP sources: CIA director Panetta to take over Pentagon; Petraeus to be nominated for CIA
Not only is that a rather thin report, it’s more than four weeks old. Laura Rozen was reporting this on April 1st; apparently, it wasn’t a prank.
Not sure why Patraeus would do that. Seems like a bit of a Latetal move, at best. DNI might make more sense.
Lovely! Petraeus can launch lots of failed operations from Langley instead of Kabul.
@Matt: I don’t know why he’d want it, either. But I’d rather have CIA than DNI; the latter is a fool’s errand without budget control.
Am I the only one whose brain automatically adds a “c” to the middle of Panetta’s name, thus causing me to think of Italian bacon?
Just rearranging the deckchairs as the Titanic sinks is all.
