How about picking another former director of the CIA -- George Herbert Walker Bush -- wouldn't that have been a kick!

Does anyone know what this guy's position on the Iraq war is? The fact that he's a former head of CIA is not encouraging - is he in the James Baker/Brent Scowcroft "pragmatist" mold? I certainly hope not.

Gates hasn't publicly said anything about the Iraq war one way or the other. (Why would he in his current position?)

He's on the Baker commission "studying" the Iraq war. Doesn't sound promising....

I hate to see Gates go.

He has been a pretty decent president at A&M.

If nobody from the right is fighting back, then we deserve it. Anyone can edit over there.

It could have been worse. Bush could have named Coach Francione.

LMAO. Then we would have kicked a field goal in Iraq and ran.

I assume this is sarcasm.

I could see the first question to North from the Senate panel...

"Mr. North, are you going to tell us the truth this time?"

The next question would be: "Mr. President, can we have your next nominee?


DGMW, I think North is great, but his days as a public servant are long gone.
