Gates: Wikileaks 'Embarrassing, Awkward'

[IamBradleyAssange]

Someone who has been "at this a long time"... I think hes referring to Kissinger and his incredible words of wisdom. US leaks like a seive- but at no cost to themselves if the content of the cables is about secret conversations of foreign leaders - especially ones they dont approve of ..(i hope you get the joke about "John Adams" going on about publishing cables...JOhn Adams was some sort of Teabag Independence thinker from the 1800's. lol)

[IamBradleyAssange]

(above: Sorry, Ive just found out he was the president at one point. )..but I think Adams point was that rejecting impositions- no matter how novel or subtley done was the key to ridding America from being a colony- not a method to make the rest of the world an American colony. So slight twisting of his words there from Mr Gates me thinks. The UK Queen keeps quoting Adams too in relations all US-UK foreign policy.

I know the eminent old guy looks a bit like Gates, but I dont think his

[IamBradleyAssange]

intention was to make his name in history as a by-word for the New World Order, somehow. God bless his soul. Lol.

If you dont see the paradox of saying foreign countries should allow Us to have all their intelligence, not because they trust us, not because we wont use it however we see fit (including blackmail), not becuase they like or approve of us , but because were the all-powerfull United States, you might find this counter-productive.. modest or not so modest, why take the risk?

[spykerhond]

America is slowly but surely growing out of touch with the rest of the world.

[IamBradleyAssange]

@spykerhond too stuck in their kissingerian/Nixonian/RupertMu­rdochian heyday. New World Order is a complete misnomer when its full of these old dodderers.

my special request song for bobby gates......."coming down" by the angels.

[figbat1]

you really have to laugh at some of these comments bobby. my question for today is "jerste from 4 months ago" is he brave or incredibly dumb? im "you-tubing" my theory everywhere bobby.....ahhhhh free speech....you gotta love it.

[figbat1]

eureka! bobby

[Madfoot713]

He gets it.

[tmtwer234]

Gates is not the opposition of an idiot !

[z9trajkovski]

Is it no strange that information from wiki-leaks are published in the newspaper such as New York Times ,Guardian and Der Shpigell - the megaphones of the New World Order !

And second -The information that leaks are closer to gossip than to real secrets...

think about that....

[jerste]

Big fat cunt.

[essxm22]

How refreshing is it to have a calm rational US politician talk about this in a frank and reasonable manner. We need mores guys like Gates and less of the Palins please....

[Communist2012]

@baltao08 Yes every empire declines. Just as the Roman Empire fell. So will the West. And the East will arise (also South America) and will laugh at the west's arrogance, turn into a dismal humiliation.

[c0mbineelite]

@Communist2012 Because communism works (lol). Fuck off commie, the only good communist is a dead communist.

[kchwiesiuk1991]

@baltao08 whats wrong with killing civilians?

[62rosangeladoro]

DEAR FRIENDS:

INDEPENDENT IF A WELL OR MODEST IN SCANDALS, THE UNITED STATES, SO THAT I KNOW ARE A DEMOCRACY, WITH THE LAWS OF PRESS AND OTHER RELEASED, NOT BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS THAT MATTERS put a lot of "clean plate"

[peppeddu]

How about issuing an arrest warrant for Hillary Clinton for illegally spying on UN diplomats?

If the Obama administration doesn't do anything about it I know for whom I am NOT going to vote in the next elections.

[MaryWaterton]

Gates is such a faggot. You have to ask yourself what a person like this doing in the Pentagon?

[MrIFUCKWAHABIS]

Wahahaahha! He is in a hard case, hes only having the ''man'' imaginary of taking serious shit like holding a feather. The shit hit the fan for 10th time for the US gov but still they are making this stuff look stupid but it really is serious!

[treid100182]

I cant wait to find about about the BANKS.

[Illkiron]

@treid100182 you're right, if diplomacy have so much scandals imagine the banks

[taano71]

At 1:28 Mr Gates "he said many governments hmamam some governments scare us".What kind of childish is this? I guess  this is a Test of knowledge of: Childish

[reda02812]

out of all the leaks, I liked the one about Kaddafi addicted to his ukranian blonde bombshell nurse/mistress.

[Mendelevium146]

1:11 and on is perhaps the most honest and truthful I've heard a political be

[BertGriffin88]

Bob Gates is the man! Finally, a man who knows the worthlessness of secrets. Everybody but the American people already know everything. All these agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA, HSD, DIA, etc) are in place to keep secrets from us Americans. Mostly, it seems they get paid a lot of taxpayer dollars for doing stupid stuff. Stupid expensive stuff that becomes embarassing for them when we learn that our security agents do these stupid things & we've paid them lots of money for doing this stupid stuff.Go Bob

[crectenw]

finally, an official admitted that these leaks are not detrimental to anyone's safety.

[MrTommYYZ]

These "leaks' are obviously intentional.

[Mendelevium146]

@MrTommYYZ lol

[tradernorton05]

wikileaks is not embarrasing, and I applaud them for exposing the truth regardless of the consequences.

Instead, the U.S. Government is horribly embarrassing, incompetent and corrupt, and I enjoy watching them squirm when confronted with the truth.

[qpro009]

Seriously "Embarrassing, Awkward". The things that the USA dose are just that Embarrassing, and Awkward, we should stop doing things that we don't want leaked then we wouldn't have to worry about what we look like we might look like decent people.

[halcyon0830]

Reality is Far Scarier than any Conspiracy Theories out there, all Conspiracy Theories ARE TURNING OUT TO BE RIGHT...

Manchurian Candidates ARE REAL.

CIA and USA are the biggest Terrorists and Shameless Lawless Criminals THAT EVER EXISTED.

[jxsilicon9]

@halcyon0830

None of that is true you dumbass.

[Realjhad]

words were well chosen. and NO, we dont need you

[lumpfish99]

i agree with almost everything he said....but now what? you want people to continue doing business with the us out of fear??? and is that the world you want to create....????

[Starry2000]

@lumpfish99 Some fear us, that is always going to be the case. Some may do things that warrant fear, they may fear us because we're powerful, because they are paranoid, etc. A lot of things lead to fear.

[Ristar85]

@Starry2000

how about they fear the USA because the USA:

- can lie at any time and bomb them to stone age on a whim?

- is the only country that has ever used an atomic weapon to date?

- is controlled by businesses?

- takes down any government that disadvantages the USA's business interests?

- is never held accountable for its LIES? "oh, the USA lied and bomb your country to shit? ah well, too bad. if it were another country, it'd be different."

look at how the arrogant USA gov behaves first.

[Starry2000]

@Ristar85 Wow, take your meds. Everything I said was fact and it holds true with the majority of governments.

[Ristar85]

@Starry2000

and all im saying is, look at how the USA behaves first.

[Starry2000]

@Ristar85 And I'm wondering what your point is? You made two long, angry replies to me for apparently no good reason at all.

[Ristar85]

@Starry2000

u wanna talk about PARANOIA?

which country is the one killing civilians then pretend that they were "combatants" and "terrorists" and then hide the fact that they killed civilians?

which country has this policy of "pre-emptive strikes"?

hell, just look at your own TSA. lol, which country is MORE paranoid than the USA?

which country's population is always thinking of killing others because they are afraid something "bad" MIGHT happen?

and, where are the WMDs again?

total BS.

[vandal420]

@Ristar85 are you talking about the US? or a random mideast dictatorship?

Both were complicit

[Ristar85]

@vandal420

i am unaware of any middle eastern "dictatorship" that sends soldiers out of their borders regularly to fight wars based on lies.

the USA is a genocidal country that fight wars based on lies and uses dirty bombs on other countries.

therefore, the USA is the GREATEST terrorist on the planet.

while the average American is scared shitless by the prospect of ONE terrorist using a dirty bomb in a USA city, the USA bombs other countries with tons of dirty bombs all day, everyday.

[lumpfish99]

@Starry2000 fear leads to hate....hate leads to anger....anger leads to sufferring........fear is the path to the dark side.......and you are advocating that???......you must be sith.....

[Vladimir0538]

Reminds me of the video AWKWARD by college humor...

[GrandArchitect3D]

i think it is pretty obvious that the Pentagon wanted this to happen

[BeantownJim]

End of U.S. pollitical credibility and under obama!

[FlatulenceFox]

Frank and honest explanation of how diplomacy actually works.

[macks7241]

'The indispensable Nation'

"The Fact is Governments deal with the UNITED STATES because it's in their interest.

Not because they like us, not because they trust us, and not because they believe we can keep secrets......

some governments deal with us because they fear us. some because they respect us. Most because they need us."

'Robert Gates'

[Josephdaz1]

That's the problem most of these guys should retire and get some new blood in there. New.. uncorrupted blood.

[jaowseph]

First.

(your not first but you can be second)
