Gates must be LURKING ... we’ve been saying that for years now.

In further news, water is wet.

If this is true (it’s the Slimes, so it’s a tossup), then Gates needs to be fired ASAP. It’s his job to develop such strategies, and to keep them current as situations change.

Gates Says U.S. Lacks Strategy to Curb Iran’s Nuclear Drive.

Some people are just gifted and that's why they migrate to positions of power....

[Jet Jaguar]

The Iranians know Obama’s NSS was due last July.

They know he cannot present his own ideas to the US Congress.

[Hoodat]

But White House officials dispute that view, insisting that for 15 months they had been conducting detailed planning for many possible outcomes regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

So basically, they admit that they have no policy to prevent it, but are making detailed plans regarding what to do when Iran finally develops its nuke. Pathetic. Only months ago, Iran was on the verge of a democratic revolution, and we did absolutely nothing to support it. Instead, we helped bolster the current regime by granting it legitimacy. I swear Obama is doing this on purpose.

>> Gates Says U.S. Lacks Strategy to Curb Iran’s Nuclear Drive

I wonder if they tried the “face to face conversation” deterrent.

[mlocher]

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has warned in a secret three-page memorandum to top White House officials that the United States does not have an effective long-range policy for dealing with Iran’s steady progress toward nuclear capability

Bush's fault.

[Bahbah]

officials that the United States does not have an effective long-range policy for dealing with Iran’s steady progress toward nuclear capability, according to government officials familiar with the document.

Shocking. I never could have figured this out by myself.

>>> The fact that we don’t announce publicly our entire strategy for the world to see doesn’t mean we don’t have a strategy that anticipates the full range of contingencies — we do.”<<<

If that is true General Jones, a responsible administration would have shared that strategy with the Pentagon and Gates since they would be tasked with carrying out the military portion of any "overseas contingency".

Obviously, since Gates authored the letter - you haven't done that.

Does this mean that Obama has taken any military options off the table in confronting Iran?

[mlocher]

Some officials said his memo should be viewed in that light: as a warning to a relatively new president that the United States was not adequately prepared.

Not Obama's fault. Cover up by NYT.

[givemELL]

Where there is no WILL, there is ALWAYS NO STRATEGY. We already knew that.

No strategy translates to dying in bed while asleep by a hostile force. Gee, is that Constitutional?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think COURAGE would be a better word. Barry wants the world to like us. Even if it kills us. We need to be “liked” by Barry’s “friends”.

Gates Says U.S. Lacks Strategy to Curb Iran’s Nuclear Drive

The very definition of incompetent.

There is no other term.

This guy is gonna get us all killed.

[AU72]

Obama has got all the use he needs out of Gates so he goes under the bus now.
