I have been opposed to Gates from Day One and his lack of experience is showing. President of A&M does not qualify him to by SecDef.
As for Ridge, he isn’t on any list of Republicans that I would want in any office. Best thing I can remember him doing is not running against Toomey.
Those two together don’t have the background or intelligence of one Dick Cheney. Their kneepadding for ZERO is duly noted.
Does his experience as President of A&M qualify him to be in charge of a prison like Gitmo? Just asking.
