Explosive excerpts from the forthcoming January 14th, 2014 book by former Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, entitled "Duty: Memories Of A Secretary At War" contains scathing comments about U.S. President Barack Obama and his stance on national security.
Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates
and President Barack Obama
Gates states of Obama regarding the war in Afghanistan, "The
president doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider the war
to be his. For him it's all about getting out." Gates further states in the
tome, "As I sat there, I thought, the president doesn't trust his commander,
can’t stand Karzai, doesn’t believe in his own strategy and doesn’t consider
the war to be his. For him it’s all about getting out." Gates also
characterizes Biden in a negative manner stating "He has been wrong on
nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past
four decades."
President Obama's National Security Staff spokeswoman,
Caitlin Hayden, responded on the head of state's behalf, "The president
disagrees with Secretary Gates’ assessment — from his leadership on the
Balkans in the Senate, to his efforts to end the war in Iraq, Joe Biden has
been one of the leading statesmen of his time, and has helped advance
America’s leadership in the world. President Obama relies on his good
counsel every day."

Gates is about to mysteriously get audited by the IRS
(LOL...oh, let me shut up, it's tax season and I don't want them on my
butt again). In all seriousness, the government needs to get out of
Afghanistan. It's a fruitless war costing many precious American and
Afghanistani lives and racking up unnecessary debt the nation does not
need.
