I've got good opinions of our SecDef. He's got strong convictions, and punishes stupidity where he finds it. To read that he's fiscally conservative is great to boot.

ain't gonna happen.

MIC is powerful enough to crush any reforms. eg, see the insane story of the F-22, the terminated exception that proves the rule the nothing gets terminated.

MUCH more important to terminate Repugs' bullshit bogus Iraq war-for-oil, and their other unwinable war in Afghanistan.

There MIGHT be some savings there, but MIC knows how to play the suck-the-taxpayer-dry-with-corporate-welfare game.

Gates is one of the very few good bush appointments.

I actually have associated with the guy. He's not that clean, but he's decent. Research the Iran-Contra scandal.

Gates is a suck-ass. Early in St Ronnie's term (the beginning of conservatives' destruction of government), Gates began the political corruption of CIA reports, telling the WH what it wanted to hear to suit WH political aims, rather than Just The Facts. aka, Make Up Shit.
