Extra: "A gutsy call" Robert Gates is a Hypocrite.
CBS 60 Minutes ^ | 5/15/11 | Katie Couric

Posted on 01/07/2014 3:46:42 PM PST by vrwc54

From the 60 Minutes interview:

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates tells Katie Couric that the mission was one of the most courageous decisions he's ever seen a president make. He calls it a "gutsy call."
This 2 minute video is disgusting in its sycophancy. I've never forgiven Gates.

There was no bigger Obama suck-up than Gates. Now he is an Obama critic? Give me a break.

Just wait, the knives will come out on the MSM
about what a scum Gates is because he was a Bush
hold over.

If it was no gutsy, why is it that they never showed us the video or OBL’s body?

It is all rather fishy.

I don’t think that much of him myself,
It’s just what rats do. Maybe Hillery
will name him to her cabinet?

Its already started. Biden just knifed Gates on a ABC news report I saw on TV. Said he hasn’t made a good decision in decades; may have been 4 decades

I have no respect for anyone who hung on into O’s administration. Mueller is a perfect example and now Gates is proving to be not much better. They’re all in it for themselves not the country.

I don’t know what he said about Bush if anything. The book hasn’t come out yet. Just the WaPo story on it.

the mission was one of the most courageous decisions he's ever seen a president make.
As compared to Truman's decision to drop the bomb, Øbama's decision was absolutely nothing.
Besides, Øbama has NO courage ... he's a pinko-commie, racist coward.

Remember, most commie libs and Obama supporters either can’t read or are too stupid to understand what they are reading so they don’t bother buying books to read. They just wait for the movie to come out. So, which book would make an author more money? A book supporting and praising the Kenyan or one ripping into the Kenyan? It’s not rocket science figuring that one out if you want to make some money writing a book.

Sounds like it was GATES’s decision, so Gates gave Obama KUDOS for going slong with Gates’ plan. I DETEST GATES< MUELLER and the rest of the so called Pubbies that covered for Obama.

What would have been gutsy is immediately upon learning where OBL was, you declare war on Pakistan for sheltering him, and then proceed to bomb them into oblivion and destroy their nukes, kill all of their scientists. Now that would have been gutsy.

Waiting over six months until somebody else literally forces your hand to act, and even then having Panetta make the call for you, is not what I call “gutsy”.

Bush, Clinton, Bush, & Obama, same liberalism just different names. Obama is where he is today thanks to those three previous POTUS before him. Oh and a special thank you too the Traitor Idiots GOP in congress and blind loyal supporters who said no new Executive Branch Powers was too much for da great W.
