"The first, he says, was Obamas decision to seek the repeal of the dont ask, dont tell policy toward gays serving in the military. Though Gates says he supported the decision, there had been months and months of debate, with details still to work out. On one days notice, Obama informed Gates and Mullen that he would announce his request for a repeal of the law. Obama had blindsided Admiral Mullen and me, Gates writes. Similarly, in a battle over defense spending, I was extremely angry with President Obama, Gates writes. I felt he had breached faith with me . . . on the budget numbers. As with dont ask, dont tell, I felt that agreements with the Obama White House were good for only as long as they were politically convenient."
Well, well, well. Robert Gates is surprised that Obama gutted the military by over $300 Billion in 2008 to divert to his "stimulus", again by another $487 Billion in 2011, and again by $650 Billion due to Sequestration in 2013? And he was also surprised that Obama (almost certainly a homosexual himself and a notorious member of Chicago's infamous "Down Low" club) fast tracked homosexuality in the military?
Today, we are dealing with the consequences of this sin and tragedy, and Robert Gates is partly to blame. This morning, the DoD announced Millions in new spending for homosexual "spouses" benefits, while the DoD is planning on gutting military TRICARE, and pensions for the disabled and widows have already been cut. Military readiness is in a shambles, and morale is in the toilet.
I felt that agreements with the Obama White House were good for only as long as they were politically convenient.”
Our allies the world over have found this out the hard way the last 5 years.
