David Brooks says that Bob Gates is the greatest Secretary of Defense in the nation’s history. It is certain that we are going to deeply miss one of the last true statesman and public servants left in government today.
Robert Gates Wary Of 'Wars of Choice'
UPI, June 19, 2011
How in the world did we reach a point where American conservatives advocate for making war? How in the world did we reach a point where the American left would forgive a President that not only started a war but did so without the permission of Congress? How ironic is it that we could elect two men in a row – from opposite political extremes – who both engaged in the worst of the neo-con’s twisted philosophy [installing Democracy by force]? Where in the world is the outrage over Libya from the media? Cue the theme from Twilight Zone.
I wish the 2012 election issue would be to select a better President but historically, our politics do not provide that opportunity. Libya is just one of the many reasons that we must reject President Obama no matter who we get next and then prepare to continue firing these guys until they get the message and work for the greater good rather than their radical Party.
