#3 A failed puppet master, or whom is handling whom ?

Gates, the Bush hold-over, did not like his new puppet? He surely remained at the bridge for quite a long time, obediently saying NOTHING, or was there some misguided hope he could help chart the course? I can't help but wonder at what point he realized a control problem was at hand ?

While at Indiana University, Gates was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency and joined in 1966.[19] On January 4, 1967, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force after attending Officer Training School under CIA sponsorship.[18][19] From 1967 to 1969, he was assigned to the Strategic Air Command as an intelligence officer, which included a year at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where he delivered intelligence briefings to Intercontinental Ballistic Missile crews.[20] After fulfilling his military obligation, he rejoined the CIA as an intelligence analyst.[21]Gates left the CIA in 1974 to serve on the staff of the National Security Council. He returned to the CIA in late 1979, serving briefly as the director of the Strategic Evaluation Center, Office of Strategic Research. He was named the Director of the DCI/DDCI Executive Staff in 1981, Deputy Director for Intelligence in 1982, and Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from April 18, 1986, to March 20, 1989.
