Beck is pretty much saying what I think about gates and his book...
You had the power to say something. You were part of the obama administration. How can you distant yourself in a book after all the facts?
I am not a fan of the obama administration, but a dislike rats even more, especially when the cheese was good, eating it. That is too easy.
Yes learning obama and clinton making political decisions using the troops was awful but not awful enough for you to step down mister gates?

Topic: Robert Gates: Memoires of a Secretary at War (Read 520 times)
A Republican ex Secretary for war, says it all. We now know in hindsight how knowledgeable and literate exponents and promoters of war like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell were about the local political dynamics. The mess in Iraq and Libya are resultant of gung-ho attitude and defective or no intelligence, and decisions based on concocted propaganda designed to deceive the public and the world at the behest of their personal interests and those of the arms industry hand in hand with the intelligence hawks smitten by their failures connected with 9/11.
Both countries, Iraq and Libya have got non-functional puppet regimes installed at the cost of the blood of over a million innocent lives and are fighting to establish their writ within their borders.
Utter failures in Iraq and Libya and cut and run political and military retreat from these countries are the yardstick to judge how much of a mess and mayhem US will leave behind in Afghanistan.The present mess in Egypt being stirred by the American subservient Egyptian military junta will soon be coming to boil as well.US will need to rewrite its strategy if it is to enjoy any jot of affection and respect in the world after its military and political shortcomings in the Middle East and its handling of the vested arms industry interests within White House if the presidency is not to turned into an ineffectual tool and puppet.
