Do we like Robert Gates?

Since no one has stepped up to the plate..........the jury is still out, IMO. ;*)

I decided today that I am LESS inclined to like him because I think it was HIS influence that got Pres. Bush into "trouble" with the media.

He was interviewed not too long ago, and said firmly, "we are winning the war"....but, then the WaPo comes out with him saying yesterday, "we aren't winning, but we aren't losing"..

THAT is is the EXACT same thing that Robert Gates said, when he came back from his break during his confirmation hearing...after he told Carl Levin that we are NOT winning the war in Iraq...

Someone must have said something to him...because he "amended" his answer after the lunch break to "we are not winning, but we are not losing, either"...

Today, Pres. Bush got "caught" saying the same lame thing....and I think it is GATES that has gotten him on the wishy washy talking points...

Therefore, IMO...he is WRONG for the job.
