Keeping Gates on as Sec Def was just a smokescreen to conceal things to come as far as Hussein’s real agenda, as well as a sure signal that Hussein simply needs him there, needs things to stay in place in that realm for the time being, because Hussein has not a shred of a microscopic clue at all how to handle military affairs and worldwide conflicts as they are now.
Deep in his anti-American heart, Hussein would love to be able to put Jeanine Garafalo or Bill Ayers himself or Jay-Z or Ellen Degenerate or Kanye West or Cornel West or Cynthia McKinney or Cindy Sheehan or Bono or Bozo the Clown in charge of DoD, anyone but a pro-American hawk and preferably some trans-gender Islamofriendly communist, but he has to wait until things go completely sideways again for us in the Middle East or whatever once he’s firmly past the transition period and he can scuttle Gates and replace him with Mumia Abu Jamal or Rosie O’Dogshit.
I wouldn’t lump jay-Z or Bono in with that other shite.
