#1 The recent loss of a great number of Afghans was undoubtedly upsetting for Secretary Gates and many others

Who sit on their hands and allow the enemy to have the initiative in the info war as they have since 911. The MSM will not play except to make their man look good. They will not carry water for anyone or anything else. That means you must commit the manpower and resources to seriously conduct information warfare. Maybe its time Secty Gates starts firing people in the PAO operations and gets someone who knows how to fight a war.

#2 Gates would do well also to start pressuring Congress. Most of the problem on the domestic-news front is that the military isn't allowed to make its case more directly. You can thank Congress for that.
