Kennedy looks more like he's sleeping one off rather than listening!
Kennedy is a real disgrace.
next strike against him: A university president. Masters of meaningless bureaucracy.
Wants a political solution involving our enemies in the region that are developing nukes and causing all the trouble. Oy.
Was on that idiotic Iraq Study Group.
I see a disaster coming that will lead to this man's resignation, or worse his survival in spite of it.
The latter is more likely. I am underwhelmed, too. Of course, one never knows - I was very enthusiastic about Condoleeza Rice and expected great things from her, but she has turned out to be as wimpy as Powell (although a little less treacherous). Maybe Gates will do the reverse and really surprise us all, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Gates is a smart guy. I'd say this is a no lose answer to stupid Democrat questions, and a sympathy getter for the press.
Whether he'll do the right thing is another matter, but this remark doesn't bother me.
If I was being interviewed, I'd love to tell these guys to get stuffed, but probably this kind of answer works better at getting yourself confirmed.

today is the anniversary of the end of prohibition 1933, you think they didn't party?
him and his son were probably closing down every Speak Easy they could find lastnight
Perhaps more like a wake, since booze smuggling is how his Daddy made his money during Prohibition.
Considering that prohibition supplied the seed money that allowed him to be the millionaire he is today, I doubt he was celebrating. He was more likely lamenting (with drink in hand) the fact that prohibition didnt last longer.
In the sense Gates said this, he is right. It is personal for many of us. We have relatives there, and been there and going back again. There is an immense gulf between these and the rhetoric from the MSM and Congress. It's hard to believe we are on the same planet.
W and Gates got two years to clean this thing up..if they don't, if it goes bad, Hello President Obama.
For Gods sake, bring them home safe, Gates said. Thats real pressure, he added."
Yeah well, That's not your job sir. No man has that ability. And if you think you do, then you do not belong in this job.
He's doing a remarkable job of democrat @ss kissing. He must really want the job.
My goodness. What is President Bush thinking about appointing that spineless SOB to replace Rummy? Rumsfield is three times the man Gates hopes to be. Gates belongs at Texas A&M rather than in a position to make tough decisions. It's no wonder that the Dims love this guy!

Dumber than a bunch of sheep.
I will miss SOD Donald Rumsfeld. He made me feel safe and our troops also loved him. I can't figure out President Bush sometimes.
