Obama wanted out of the wars, Gates wanted us to stay in. He said that.
Obama took his advice and look what it got us. Nothing but more deaths. Gates also said Obama was right.
It pisses off the right that Obama has gotten us out of two immoral wars and has kept us out of more wars. If the Rs had their way, we would be in more wars.
Gates wanted to win or at least leave when the job was done. Obama wanted just to gtf out of there. Now alQaeda is back and even more of a problem than before.
