So much for we did all we could do.
That's what was said by the Secretary of Defense. I read the rumor report and it's potentially very misleading...in fact as it sits it doesn't bring any new information that wasn't already reported.

This is the problem with this entire story. You have Fox making a report based on what someone said about what someone else said. You have information spun into something it isn't necessarily (like the 7 hours) to come to conculsions after the fact that aren't supported by available information.

Panetta's remark about Monday morning quarterbacking couldn't be more spot on.

Fox continues to beat the story without any new data or analysis, they just keep running the same stuff over and over. No bias there...
