Top CIA man does not care for Iraq war
Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he does not know whether the invasion of Iraq was the right thing to do. This stunningly candid answer came in an interview with New York Times columnist David Brooks.
He's been mentioned before on this blog, and he should know all about Iraq if anyone does. Unlike George Bush he does not have a known bad habit of stupid lies, AFAIK, which Bush seems to have had all along.
Lee Hamilton, co-author of the Iraq Study Report says "It's refreshing to see a secretary of defense who has an appreciation of military power but also has an appreciation of the limitations of military power." "Gate's views on the Iraq conflict are in "stark contrast" to the president's".
IMO: Sounds about fair comment.
