I grad from Aggieland, and I still live here. Gate's is a 'Harriet Miers'-type choice.

1. Former CIA guy - this guy helped develop the intel that lead to the war. So, let's give the reins to somebody already at the incompetent end of where we are today.

2. at TAMU - poster boy for rate hikes and cow-towing to the tenured elite. He's a player, not a fighter.

3. Bonfire: he outright lied about its future.

4. Daddy's Boy: don't think the DU won't latch on to that.

5. None of you are going to like the Baker commission recommendations. Remember this - Gates is the FIRST recommendation.

On the bright side, TAMU can now get rid of this guy. But there's no silver lining as he's being fobbed off on our military heroes.

Rummy, I miss you already.

Just guessing, Gates is the implementor of the recommendations, along with Rice. Like them, many of us won't, which is why they were announced after the election.

Maybe we should just nuke ourselves.....

It all Depends(tm) on how hot the blow torches the DeMSM are. Gates could be the first toast in the new toaster.

In which case the DeMSM blows Baker's plans to the Nether Kingdom of Swift Boat Hell.
