Lisa..... Gates will either salute the decision to attack Syria if it comes ...or resign.
He doesn't make the call its above his pay grade.

Geesh. Byrd asking who is responsible for 911, Osama or Saddam, and now what he'd do to catch Osama.
Hey, Byrd Brain, what has YOUR party done to help in efforts in the WOT, besides blocking all measures to capture terrorists???

Gates gave a flat, unqualified "No" when asked if he favored attacking Syria.

I'm starting to think along the lines of "Harriet Miers Oops II."

Right. But his apparent willingness to butter up the leftists is galling.
Now Pat Roberts says he has no doubt Gates will "speak truth to power!"
What in heaven's name is going on here!

I think all the has-beens from Bush 41's administration are busy trying to take over the last couple of years of Bush 43's administration. I think they are busy trying to rewrite the history of their failure to take out Saddam in the first Gulf War. Gates' comments this morning make me want to puke.

The Harriet Myers comparison is unfair. Ms. Myers never took to the floor of a Senate committee room and spouted leftist drivel like this guy.

He doesn't make the call its above his pay grade. He has said on several occasions that it is the President that makes the ultimate decisions
