Gates on Gates - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following from Washington D.C on remarks by former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates and his memoir, the article notes the following, " Former defence secretary Robert Gates defends book as 'an honest account'. "

Lets Get Real:

This blogger has the Gates book on order, one can say that the former Secretary has been very blunt and candid, VP Biden is hopeless at foreign policy and always has been, Hillary Clinton and President Obama ran their campaigns not on real objection to the Iraq War but for political reasons, the President sent thousands of Soldiers in to Afghanistan based on a military strategy did not think would work, LBJ all over again.  Has President Obama listened to the LBJ tapes, will the press really ask him tough questions the next time he does  a press conference.   Also Hillary Clinton has been hiding, when we she deal with the allegation that she ran 2008 on pure political motives not policy.    One has to wonder is Robert Gates is looking for the VP spot on the Republican ticket in 2016.   Everything is political in D.C.
