So, a lot of talk about Rummy...what about Gates? I'm cautiously optomistic. His association with Sr. is a plus. While I didn't love daddy's politics, he is a reasnaoble human being and the Gulf War was run pretty professionally. And Gates was serving on the comittee that was getting ready to make recomendations on strategy change in Iraq, so he's obviously open to reevaluation.
But then, his history of single-minded skewed world view towards blaming everything on the Soviets recalls Dubya's own propensity to try to make everything fit with his "It's all Saddam's fault" view. Hopefully Gates has grown out of that and he'll bring a more open mind to the position.
Hopefully.
