Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates should have waited to publish the memoir in which he harshly criticized President Obama's leadership in the war in Afghanistan, two top Republican senators said Sunday.
"I would have waited, but as far as waiting until it's over in Afghanistan, I wouldn't have done that," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on CNN's "State of the Union," though he was quick to praise the former defense secretary.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a potential 2016 presidential contender, made similar comments on CBS's "Face the Nation."
"My preference would be that people would refrain from writing these sorts of things until the president is out of office because I think it undermines the ability to conduct foreign policy," Rubio said.

F all RINO’s
And Rubio’s conservative “cred” comes crashing down once again...
Does Linseed know that McQueeg has a new girlfriend?
BS It should have come out prior to the 2012 election.
Sometimes a person just has to sit back and admire the gall these people have.
And of course they mean the best time to publish would have been ‘NEVER’.
Wait for Lindy to out-shout those beeotches on how terrible DaddyMac has been dissed by Gates!
Agree!

So they’re OK with politicizing the war and endangering our troops? McCain should be recalled.
..yeah, this way Hildabeast can skate through without any worries.....****ing morons
Just when I thought Rubio might be gaining credibility again, he slips down the ladder, and lands on that old coot McLame.
I will agree, this should not have been written now... I’d have preferred it written BEFORE 2012!
Truth be told he should have quit in protest...then he wouldn’t have had to write a book.
Neocon club!
Don’tcha know the elites have to follow a code and protect each other. If too much information got out there about them to the general public, it could mess up the good thing they got going.
so the talk is all about how Gates is a betrayer for revealing that obama is a dumba$$...NOT about that fact that the dumba$$ is still running the country
I think this is the PERFECT time for him to release his book.
Not AFTER he is out of office and there is nothing that can be done. He is telling us NOW that we HAVE A DUMBA$$ RUNNING THE COUNTRY~!!!
(of course this means Boehner will have the balls to do anything about it, and he clearly doesn’t)
Rubio re-affirms that he is one of McLame’s butt-boys.
“And Rubio’s conservative “cred” comes crashing down once again...”
Conservative cred is like virginity. Once you f*ck somebody, it’s gone.
Ha, I will never again trust Rubio. Once you uncover yourself as a loser GOPe you cannot unring the bell. Check out Cornyn’s ads in Texas, Pathetic at best.
