so bob gates this was sector defensive course under both president bush
and Barack Obama now up actually like a sector defense
I he had a really really tough job at filling in for Don Rumsfeld who just
bought you did for six years in a row
and Ali were sector defense we've had certainly in my lifetime the worst
sector we've had
a including at sectors and actually type stuff up okay
I Rumsfeld was the worst the worst thing gates kinda rescued at
to some degree right and he served a blender President Obama now has a new
book out
with the unprecedented move duty but
yeah what it is that's the new more duty
memoir memoirs up a secretary a war
but members of a secondary I mid-cap I
anyway do I look I written the positive things about him I've said positive
things about him
and even in this book he says like President Obama didn't really believe in
the surge in Afghanistan I i think thats alright relatively true
he said that present Obama and Hillary Clinton didn't even oppose the
a surge in Iraq they said in his presence they just
has said that for political reasons to get progresses the vote with them
I totally believe that as well so I actually don't have me to pick with bad
bob gates
at all until now now he said two things
that I think are absurd first he's talking about Harry Reid in how he
you know her to troops listlessness when you have somebody like the senate
Majority Leader
come out in the middle the surge and save this war is lost
I thought that was one most disgraceful
thing I've heard politicians say that is
that sends a riveting message
that kids who are putting their lives on the line every day that they're doing it
for nothing
and that was absolutely not the case here
in nobody does it need
by the meager I he should be given name remember me ***
brzezinski burkett second a wall you know and they use it on whether
chicago-style politics from the Obama team and I don't believe it
until I saw gates now neck brace the door armed of
daughter her know believe how you write a book about your right hand here
take this to anyone is there anything funny than a dude in the neck brace
like mandates such bad timing for a right to know the book tour also
oh no I'm kinda her dog well as we've owned more so
anyway now on the substance he said you know be
Harry put out this message that they're doing it for nothing and thats
absolutely not the case is what he said at that okay
Bob were over we're not in iraq anymore you know the sector defense
let ago under logo that was 0 totally senseless war
and unfortunately I day absolutely died for nothing
now I wish that were the case I with your first boss George W Bush had sent a
man in the first place
remember iraq did not attack us on 9/11 and nothing to do with 9/11 there
nothing new without Qaeda
that was as senseless a war as you could have it makes me sick that those kids
died for about
in that war but it doesn't make it any better by saying ali-a autumn so that
was awesome yeah
nope that a lot of purpose I mean look at the governor Iraq now
come basically working with the government over on and so on the middle
the Civil War we started
yeah you really prove your point that out there was a brilliant war
so that's not a second a wall the worst part is when he says Harry Reid reno's
disgraceful
and a and the troops I mean it cost them their morale
this whole they gotta stop it with the morale point
okay the look the troops needed morale back in world war 1
wendy was so I know you guys go over the hill and ninety percent of you'll get
shot
RK then you really needed morale otherwise is not there we're on our way
okay now I is morale really an issue or you can text calling our soldiers are
professional
are you saying that all Harry like and the idea that lone survivor anyone at
guy a guy in the middle at ballou judd
is sitting there going no I can't believe what I read certain Reid said
I've lost my morale I think I'm gonna give up i them to give up to the Taliban
in Afghanistan I'm gonna give up to saddam's troops and pollute up
they don't think like that they'll work like that
that's a BS political point to hide behind the troops assay
all if you criticize the war then you're criticizing the troops in your
costing them around the harried was entirely lot right when he said
that we had lost the war at that point and the ironic thing is Robert Gates
actually swept that mess up and help to conclude in a way that wasn't as
disastrous as rumsfeld
which I give them credit for but when he says this that's revisionist history not
true
but what he said about Edward snowden i think is even worse
what's what's up I think that the revelations have done a lot of damage
them
pet sounds like they have the potential to do a lot more
a I think he's a traitor a
we you know we built we spent 40 years building institutions have oversight for
intelligence since the mid-nineteen seventies
in the congress and the executive branch in in the judiciary
there are multiple avenues the
to for people who believe that the rules are being broken or that the laws being
broken
to pursue in order to bring those problems to authorities who can
evaluate whether or not the think
the somebody is breaking the law in and then to flee the
at to the protection out that notorious protector UHV
human rights and privacy and civil liberties Vladimir Putin
I think speaks volumes all right now act cub love
ironies there now for some all he says
of there are plenty of different at you know ways of
going about this in the legal way yeah how'd that work temporarily Manning had
that were up for anybody
right Bradley Manning stayed in pleader Russia right
now he did take the files and given WikiLeaks but then he said okay I might
hear they got a man oh yeah he's serving
decades in prison how the workout with other whistleblowers the NSA
they got charged with not they didn't get praise at all thank you for pointing
out some any illegal or unconstitutional NSA is doing
they got charged with aspin I jacked
in fact Obama's use as being hijacked war that all presidents combined
and then adult bald you think any whistleblower in his right mind would
stick around to see what Obama's gonna do at home
or let alone Bush earlier no way that's absurd point
sale I called him a traitor and said he betrayed the trust
a well that's kind of ironic because bob gates is wrote a book
about the two presidents he served one that's a sitting president
that's still the middle to be a radical war in Afghanistan
and had revelations that her both those presidents
and Vice President Biden remember about bush she also said load
he totally disagreed with a lot of his decisions and thought they were
foolish mmm so Glenn Greenwald writes this week
heard he wrote a book betraying high-level competences
oh wait in other words
it was known who wrote that book who was Gates who wrote that book
so please spare me your righteous indignation about
edwards known I wish she told us what you up to earlier
and lastly I'd like to add doughnuts people more right
but but but but
