Reply #92: Why are we going in a circular discussion? Why is it so hard to grasp?

[vaberella]

When he says "he thinks" he's speaking for himself. It's not hard to grasp. So when Panetta said "he thinks we should reveal the picture" ----you're saying that he then spoke for the admin? The same admin which had already said and continued to say (without directly renouncing Panetta's statement) that they would not release the pics. Obama had stated just about two weeks prior if not last week that troops will be removed in July 2011. So far whatever Gates is saying is on his own personal opinion and not that of the admin. Well until the admin says otherwise. So far Obama is keeping his word.

This is not hard to grasp, but you've asked me the same question about 3 times and I've answered all similarly...I hope it's understood now or I'm sure you'll ask again---at which I can't be bothered to repeat the same statement.
