It seems they did not get along with Secretary Gates at all.

The article gives a variety of POSSIBLE reasons why Gates would be unhappy, but of course Gates did not give them his actual reasons.

One more possible reason was given, not yet mentioned: “Sources tell FOX News that the Air Force has drawn criticism for back-channel dealings on Capitol Hill.”

This could be Murtha, it could be McCain and the tanker contract, or it could just be general disloyalty to the administration in cutting deals with fatcat Democrats.

This could be the administration lining up the ducks for taking care of Iran.
