This R&D provides resources for former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s criticisms of President Obama.  Panetta’s new book Worthy Fights criticizes President Obama for pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq and argues that the President is sheltered by advisers that are distrustful of the military.  Since Panetta was Bill Clinton’s chief of staff between 1994 and 1997, some have argued that his book is meant to weaken President Obama so as to make Hillary Clinton look better for 2016.
