Gates needs to have a change of heart and resign, immediately. No self respecting man should work for, or support, this filthy freak and his criminal enterprise.
I will keep my eye on you, comrade.
Bet me a Buffalo Nickel that there was a “hit list” of sorts that included DOD personnel with close ties to Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld, and that’s largely who these 90 were...
Gration sounds (and apparently acts) like a real ass-hat.
The Clinton military. Deja vous all over again.

According to Pentagon officials, the problem was that Obama's request to visit Landstuhl included two members of his campaign staff -- retired Major General Jonathan S. Gration and Jeff Kiernan. US military officials in Germany informed the campaign the two political operatives would not be permitted on base.
Pentagon officials say Gration was the campaign's point of contact at Landstuhl in arranging Obama's visit and "got torqued" when he was told he would not be permitted to join Obama. It was Gration who later suggested to reporters that the Pentagon short-circuited Obama's visit.
Are there some in the Pentagon or military resentful because Gration has climbed on board the Obama campaign? Did Gration overreact? As a former policy director for the US European Command, he would surely be disappointed -- if not offended -- by being excluded from the visit. It's also been my experience that even retired generals do not want to hear the word "no."

“Bush’s transition was delayed due to Al Gore’s contesting of the Florida returns. A willing Bill Clinton refused to release transition funds until late December of 2000.”
You forgot they had to order new keyboards. The Clintoon people swiped all of the “W”s. LOL
The night of the long knives has begun!
Elections have consequences. These are political appointee jobs and normally ALL are replaced. Very likey the Dem ranks aren’t overflowing with political types whose military experience can fill the remaining slots any time soon. (remember WHO got shunted off from the White House to the Pentagon? THAT is the Dems idea of a Pengagon politcal appointee)
You need your eyes checked there, Shortcake.
but I am very clever

with < than four score and twenty years behind, I have been in a position to witness and learn many things, and although the ol’ grey matter lets me down on some names and dates from time to time,the Commie stuff remains clear.
I hear there's a whole bunch of people planning to do just that. It'll be deliciously (and maliciously) ironic if Obama has to bring back the draft.
Care to explain your reasoning?
Perhaps, and while that would be honorable, it’s temporary. The Freak is going to dump all over Gates before this is over. Or, Gates will wait too long and be covered with the Freaks stench.
I believe Gates is a good man, I would want him to leave on a win, and I don’t trust that Thing any further than I can throw the White House he and his beast are about to contaminate.
I think I am now going to go watch a John Wayne movie. ;>)
In part, but getting reasonably competant people working for the government was another. But, as usual, they overdid it, and made it *almost* impossible to fire a Civil Servant.
Does this surprise anyone, really? I thought it was SOP for political appointees to tender their resignation to the new President.
These people knew they were gone. This is not a shock.
This aint softball people. Its hardball. Its hardball when the Republicans come in, and it hardball on the way out.
We complain about how soft America has become. Take a look around. Many of the posts sound like my 15 year old, telling me, “Thats not fair.”
Grow up. Its called being the winner. We should take notes and make sure we are doing the same thing next time.
