And this from the article as well:
“Gates also urged the Senate to ratify a stalled arms control treaty with Russia before the end of the current legislative session in January.”
What the hell is this guy’s problem? He was chosen by Bush? What is his background? I can’t hardly believe the things, the perverted ideas that are in the minds of these people. It’s out of control when the secretary of defense is advocating this bullcrap.
As I understand it, he is a technocrat, with few core principles.
Gates was the perfect bureaucrat. Always there, working late. Never suggesting anything new, but keeping the boys in line. He was such a sycophant, always there first to open the door for a superior. His first real promotion came as head of Europe — where he had no experience. I think his true colors finally emerge — now, a few months short of retirement. From my own experience in intel, he was always such a mincing primadonna, I thought he was a homosexual. I am probably mistaken, but how the hell getting rid of DADT will maintain good order in the military is beyond me. And, quite honestly, I have personally witnessed how a homosexual cabal can really screw up a military base. Indeed, it can happen.
