One of the most prominent issues among the dem politicians was to be rid of Donald Rumsfeld. President Bush did it for them by announcing Rumsfeld's resignation and replacement with Robert M. Gates. If Gates is confirmed, he will take office most likely in June of 2007.
In spite of accusations regarding the Iran Contra Affair and others regarding his alleged politicalization of intelligence about the former Soviet Union and Nelson Mandela, radical sapphoq regards Robert Gates as an excellent choice for the job of U.S. Secretary of Defense. He has served as an intelligence professional in the CIA for 27 years. He was also appointed to a bipartisan committee, Iraq Study Group; and also has served on SAFE, a group which deals with reducing our dependence upon oil and finding alternative sources of energy. He has extensive knowledge about the Middle East Region and about foreign affairs. Robert Gates will indeed be an asset to the present administration.

That's about as good of a high mention as I need ... He was one of the integrals in the Bush 41 world and I think unfortunately that Bush 43 is reverting to being his father ... I realize that he {Bush 43} is not very popular but then again his father was a term less popular ... We shall see ... Good reporting as always Spike ;-) JC
