Jeez. I was just thinking recently that Gates had actually done a very nice job as SecDef. While I am a Rummy fan, it seemed like Gates had fit the current need. Now I have to rethink.
What don’t people get? You can’t coddle or negotiate with tyrants.
Gates is a one step-forward, two-steps backwards Sec. of Defense. Give me Rummie. At least he had balls and knew how to use power.
Gates in weak, just like Obama.
