You’re joking right? This guy even give milquetoasts a bad name.
He is giving speeches recently that feels like he is going rogue and distancing himself from Washington. On the other hand who isn’t? Everybody today wants to stay away from the culture there.
Bullsh!t!
If the scuttlebutt is accurate, Gates has hunkered down at Defense to protect our military men and women from Obama. How can that be accomplished without some significant political maneuvering (much of which might appear as you suggest--milquetoasty)?
First, sorry for being so abrupt with the "bullsh!t" comment. You may be perfectly correct about the 'milquetoast' thing.
The position I posited was one grounded more in the passion of wishful thinking than fact.
But I hope like hell you are wrong and I am right (that's the source of the charge of 'bullsh!t). I really hope that there are some heroic Americans working behind the scenes to protect our military from the insidious character and actions of Obama.
And I hope Gates is one of those heroes!
