"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Bob Gates on the Iraq War Hot Seat
Submitted by John deLaubenfels on Sat, 2007-08-25 16:00
"Defense Secretary Robert Gates may be confronting the career decision of a lifetime: Should the former CIA director lash himself to the mast with George W. Bush and risk going down with the foundering Iraq War ship or should he look to a post-Bush period and position himself as a Washington wise man?" I haven't seen evidence of cojones in Gates, so I'm betting he takes the easy way out and backs Bush. Column by Robert Parry.
