According to article:
The Obama administration as a whole has been careful to avoid the language of regime change when dealing with the Middle East and it was not clear if the White House shared Mr Gates sentiments.

Would add the question: Is this even legal?

Obama changed the name to SecRev while no one was
looking.

I wonder what an ‘inert’ intervention looks like.
Oh! Like Wisconsin!

What if the defense minister of Syria said: “The American People should follow Egypt’s lead and the country’s army should empower a revolution.”
Sedition is the stirring up of rebellion against the government in power.
This bozo Gates has lost his marbles. He is guilty of sedition in Syria.

“Indeed, I was truly stunned when I read the headline.
I am not sure that this has ever been done before?!”
Good point...and just why shouldn’t the same apply here. If the Tea Party can mass enough people, then Obama CLEARLY needs to step aside...by his own rules.

You should ask the mods to add [SecReV] to the title.
Rosco can fix up the Che/Gates insignia the Department will need now.
With dead’s tickletoes help, but somebody needs to ping roscoekarns since I can never spell his name right.

Sounds like SecDef, the WH, SecState, JCS, need to start coming up with a STRATEGY — yesterday. No, getting BHO elected in 2012 is NOT it.

So how many middle east countries are on fire since end of January? I have lost count...Lets see, we have Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, and now Syria. I feel like I have left some out....
Of course Libya and also Bahrain!
IMHO, the ultimate grand-prize may be Saudi Arabia.

It’s quite a list and possibly still growing.

Sadly, I believe you are correct! I can’t help but wonder and worry about the wizzard(s) behind the curtain orchestrating all this “democracy”

The whole Middle East will be up in flames by the time Obama is done, with Iran in charge. Maybe it will finally be time to settle up with Iran. Any revolution in Syria will be a bloodbath orders of magnitude greater that Libya and Egypt.
