Gates' book holds high praise for Hillary

Since he sat on his hands while all these things he claims to upset him so much were going on, continuing to carry the water for an administration he believed to be incompetent and cavalier in its treatment of people in harm's way, Gates has next to no credibility in any case, in my view.

Sorry that doesn't comport with your rather elementary either-or meme, but there it is.

The same can be said for every Bush critic who worked for him.

The quickest way to get fired is write a hit piece on the president while working for him. Might even cause you to be brought up on charges.
And I hold the Bush people who did the same in equal disdain. They didn't feel they were doing the right thing, they should have resigned on the spot rather than continue to live the lies.

See how intellectual honesty works?


Assigning blanket rationale to every case is illogical.

What was their motives? Were they out to destroy the POTUS or simply tell the truth?

Book after book after book came out on Bush, featured on 60 Minutes of course, meant to destroy Bush. The motives were dubious at best.

How many people in the military, in government KNOW how bad obama is and don't say anything? They will never come forward to tell what they know or will wait until they have retired before they do.
Obie's incompetence may well be the reason there has been an inordinate exidous of senir General Staff officers. Who knows?

By the same token, do you think Gates doesn't now have a great big target on his back right now? How feverishly do you imagine Holder's minions are working, trying to dig up any amount of dirt on him that they can?

I believe the motives in this case to be as dubious.

What more can I say?

That's just an opinion of course.
 
Yes, shallow, we know that you want obama to be declared king and supreme ruler for life.

No RedFace...Kings are for Conservatives.

As are Supreme Rulers.

You folks feel the right to rule comes from god.

I don't believe in god.

I believe in Democracy.


Does Kim Jung Un have king-like powers?

Socialism produces supreme rulers, because socialism requires that a tiny group of super elites control all the money and all the power, and everyone else is EQUALLY miserable.

Socialism does not work when there is individual freedom.

I don't care if you are an atheist. But it does help understand why your life is so miserable and why you are so full of hate.

The right to rule does not come from God, but rights to live free do. what do you think the words "endowed by their creator" mean?

There is no "creator" in the Constitution.

And the bible prescribes a Kingdom as the ultimate government.

Again, I personally don't subscribe to the government of Korea..which is the result of colonialism. As is most of the distorted governments of the Middle East, Central America, South America and many Island nations.

Empire is another thing Conservative do so love.

Richard Alan Clarke[1] (born October 27, 1950) is the former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the United States.

Clarke worked for the State Department during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.[2] In 1992, President George H.W. Bush appointed him to chair the Counter-terrorism Security Group and to a seat on the United States National Security Council. President Bill Clinton retained Clarke and in 1998 promoted him to be the National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism, the chief counter-terrorism adviser on the National Security Council. Under President George W. Bush, Clarke initially continued in the same position, but the position was no longer given cabinet-level access. He later became the Special Advisor to the President on cybersecurity. Clarke left the Bush administration in 2003.

Clarke came to widespread public attention for his role as counter-terrorism czar in the Clinton and Bush administrations in March 2004, when he appeared on the 60 Minutes television news magazine, released his memoir about his service in government, Against All Enemies, and testified before the 9/11 Commission. In all three instances, Clarke was sharply critical of the Bush administration's attitude toward counter-terrorism before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and of the decision to go to war with Iraq. Following Clarke's strong criticisms of the Bush administration, Bush administration officials and other Republicans attempted to discredit him or rebut his criticisms, making Clarke a controversial figure.
