About the new SecDef...
..The Honorable Mr Gates - and I mean no sarcasm YET, for we here at the 'Burg will give a man a chance - wrote this in a book about his time at the CIA. H/T to www.powerline.com - Mike
"...The book's major surprise was its assessment of President Carter. "Carter's record in dealing with the Soviet Union," the book says, "was far more complex and successful than commonly believed at the time or since. Indeed, he was the most consistently — if often unintentionally — truculent President in relations with the Soviets since Harry Truman...If people had known what he was doing secretly to take on the Soviets, perceptions likely would have been different."...."
This can NOT be good...
Well, he said it was a secret ...
