” ... aggressive savings targets laid out by Defense Secretary Robert Gates ... “

This Bush appointee is a treasonous wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Yes, in this case it is Bush’s fault!

[lentulusgracchus]

Gates is playing mandarin to the wooly Communists in the Administration .... who knows how many double games he's playing?

But this cutting is without a doubt the agenda of the "disarm America" crowd who, remember, did indeed kill the B-1 program once, under President Carter, and then Ronnie brought it back in modified, more-modest form.

So Gates could be fighting a rearguard action against a crowd of Benedict Arnolds and Quislings, or he could do us a greater service by resigning in protest over all this PC buncombe, reinforcing what Gen. McChrystal did in walking the plank.
