Obamas NSS still not published. I hope Gates actually has seen a plan.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Tuesday that Hezbollah has more missiles than most governments in the world, during a joint press conference with Defense Minister Ehud Barak in Washington.

I guess he is satisfied with this,too.

Something is fishy about this story. I thought Gates was complaining about the administration’s plan for dealing with Iran, not about the pentagon’s plan for dealing with Iran. Given the brevity of the article, it might be that Reuters is subtely covering for White House recklessness.

Of course Gates is .... I mean geezus, when your or the US current and future Iranian planning is centered on sternly worded letters, going to the UN to get your sanction attempts repeatedly blocked by Russia and China, and you’ve pretty much accepted Iran as a nuclear fact .... there is not much to plan for, right Gates; therefore, it is quite easy to sit around acting all smart and knowing and asserting that you are satisfied with US planning to “counter” Iran.....idiot.
