Looks like were in for big trouble …three more years of this…
The whole article is worth reading..
the Wall Street Journal was able to print this off under the threat of the entire media complex and it’s boss, Obama and Holder instead of an entire page of Christie the front runner’s (not the NJ Governor’s) abuse of power, OKA the republican’s forgetting that sainthood is a prerequisite for running for president, scandal?
The Journal might be mistaken for a special ops team.
. for later
OK, anyone else just want to puke when they read this complete article? Just once I would like to see someone of principle just get up, yell Bullsh!t, and resign in protest. Gates could easily have retired from civil service, changed the course of history and saved hundreds of lives. Instead, the lifelong, analyst, and a$$kisser just goes along to get along, even though he’s seething inside. Ok—why not speak the hell up? Sounds like McChrystal did, and got fired for it, because he had the spine to disagree, although they blamed the firing on something else, of course. Petreus and Mullen were no better than Gates. Where are the men of principle? They sure as hell aren’t running the government or the military.
“I’m giving an order”
Lol. Someone learned how to be president by watching too many movies.
Believe this . . . people who should know details, I guarantee you know just who "Obama" really is and where he comes from.
If anyone knows the only thing that can fix America is a Civil War.. it’s GATES...
America is NOT setup to deal with a traitor as Commander in Chief..
WHo is in fact “the Trojan Horse” bringing all manner of enemies into rule as a Cabal or Junta..
Obama is punishment to the United States. for 75,000.000 murdered babies..
AND very many other “things”...
VOTING will not and can not cure the ills plaguing the United States..
ONLY a stampede by the sheep... that’s why we even HAVE a Second Amendment..
My years in the Bush administration had convinced me that creating a strong, democratic, and more or less honest and competent central government in Afghanistan was a fantasy.
Smart man. That’s an impossibility in ANY Islamic State.
“Is it a lack of respect for me?”
“Are [Petraeus, McChrystal and Mullen] trying to box me in?
What is wrong? Is it the process?
Are they suspicious of my politics?
Do they resent that I never served in the military?
Do they think because I’m young that I don’t see what they’re doing?”
***********************
Pretty insecure, isn’t he?
I ordered the book the first few minutes I heard. I hope to have it next week. I had the pleasure of meeting him, a year or so before he was asked to come back to service as Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush. My impression then...I liked him immediately. He’s a a frontline Cold Warrior; I was fortunate to have been working behind the scenes way down the food chain..but I’ll always be a Cold Warrior.
I don’t think he can stand Washington. I’ll bet he only came back as a favor to Bush 41 and his sense of Duty kept him in. I’m amazed that he stayed as long as he did. The only adult in the room during the 0bama administration. It must have been appalling. He had plenty of criticism for the Bush years too from a few of the excerpts I’ve seen. Looking forward to reading the whole book.
