Did anybody see the part in Gates’ book where Bambi apparently told the generals “this is an order” over something he wanted done? Biden was there too and said something to the effect of “he’s ordering you (th generals) to do this.” Gates writes that they were all stunned; not even. Nixon had thought he was giving direct orders.

Gates says at some point that many of them were concerned about the troops and put up with is dictatorial behavior for that reason.

Obama is crazy and power-mad.
