Gates says tht he came to that conclusion when he was on the Iraq study group
Hellary mentions the elections
Then jumps on Gates comment about no new ideas on Iraq and if he read Rummy's memo
Gates says .. only what's been reported in the news paper .. but agrees with what Rummy put forward

I hope this is re-emphasising for everyone how utterly depraved and dangerous she is - she must be denied the White House.

Gates is pointing out that she is taking his words out of context regarding exaggerating the military .. he was talking about bureaucracy and not militarily
