Panetta: Trump ‘Could Label’ Ronald Reagan ‘as the Father of Violent Terrorism’

PANETTA: "Well, I think we all made our positions clear. But, look, mistakes have been made in the war against terrorism going back to the 80s. Ronald Reagan when he sent the marines to Lebanon and 241 were killed by a bomb. You could — if you were Donald Trump, you could label as father of violent terrorism. I think what would be appropriate is for Donald Trump, instead of making an outrageous claim that somehow President Obama is the father of ISIS, which is a lie, he ought to present what strategy he would implement to defeat ISIS. Instead, he says he has a secret plan. And nobody knows what that plan is all about. That’s what he ought to be debating."
