Yes please!!!
“We will do what the president asks us to do,” Gates said at the Army War College. “There is a law; we will uphold the law. If the law changes, so will our policies.”
So what is it that makes him a POS? Is he advocating a change? No, he’s said the law is the law and the military policy will be to uphold the law and when that changes so will the policies. Do you want him to violate the law and polices? I doubt it.
Is he inserting his personal beliefs into the discussion?Nobody knows.
BTW: Where was he before? CIA. Maybe, just maybe, by bringing it up, he’s creating the a counter-op firestorm to ensure that it doesn’t change.
I don’t know, you don’t know and we won’t know until he tells us.
Not telling us is = a POS? A little hyperbolic.
