Gates back on .. mentions while eating lunch he was watching the news and he would like to clear up his comments of earlier about losing the war
He was to say that the military is doing an excellent job and have many successes in Iraq ..
What exactly did he say that was different after watching the News...(doncha love how his "teacher" is the MSM?)
Did anyone ask him this morning about how he feels about having direct talks with Syria and Iran re: Iraq?
That answer, he said, pertains “to Iraq as a whole,” not to the performance of U.S. forces there. “I didn’t want my comments to be interpreted as suggesting that they weren’t being successful in their endeavors,” he said.
Really? What did he say in the clarification? I hope he got a call form the White House pointing out his stupid comment.
