Panetta shows he's no Rumsfeld

Here's a link to a speech from Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta, given in Washington D.C., Wednesday, May 02, 2012. Excerpts below: "As someone who grew up in Monterey, California, which as many of you know is world famous for its beautiful coastline and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, I’ve had a life-long interest in protecting our nation’s precious resources... ...the area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security: rising sea levels, to severe droughts, to the melting of the polar caps, to more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. ... a better, cleaner, and safer world for the future, in order to ensure that our children have that better life." I like to hear stuff like that, especially from the Secretary of Defense, someone who actually has billions of dollars at his disposal.
