Defense Secretary Robert Gates: "In my opinion, any future Defense Secretary who advises the President to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should have his head examined."

  • What is happening here?

    THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, HE'S A DOPPELGANGER!

    An American leader that actually makes sense!

    Why, the last time I heard so much common sense, it was Eisenhower warning us about the Military Industrial Complex!

    (When they have "a common sense moment", why is it always when they are on the way out, and not the way in?!?)

  • I like this Rachel Maddow fella, he seems like a nice guy.

  • To quote Vizzini from the Princess Bride, "never get involved in a land war in Asia." Too bad we forgot it.

  • @eRealist lool

  • What about the existing wars Gates?

  • @jackson sun al qaeda exist in cyberspace , they are suicide bombers. they are defeated if they attack. it means they were blown to bits. its impossible for them to take a country. your thinking is just to primitive to be a leader. perhaps you confuse the talibon political group with the other?

  • Robert thank you for your service to my country, you seem like a fine gentleman. if i can ever help you please count on my support.

  • @jakjonsun week old post I know but.. he could easily advise that they supply another faction to fight them in the land for america rather then sending in troops.. that wouldn't be the first time the US did such a thing and it wouldn't be the last either.. I know you have a big military but just cause you have a hammer doesn't mean every problem is a nail.. so the only moronic thing is you honestly thinking the only solution is to put "boots on the ground" and to risk American lives..

  • what a moronic thing for a defense secretary to say . . . say if al qaeda takes over a middle eastern country, we're just going to sit back and let it happen? of course we would fight them, and in all likelihood would lead to ground troops being sent . . . bob gates will go down in history as the reason for the shameful delay in a no-fly zone in libya, what a douche

  • US Presidential advisors on war issues are notorious for their stupidities.

  • @HalcyonicRepose He did say, The Next Defense Secretary; to me sounds like hes knows he's going to be fired for what he is saying!
