Robert Gates Lines Up with Bush?

December 19th, 2006

The appointment of Robert Gates to replace Donald Rumsfeld as Defense Secretary was widely viewed as a sign that George W. Bush was prepared to accept more realism on the Iraq War and possibly agree to a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops.

That wishful thinking led Democrats to treat Gates as a closet ally and to support his nomination unanimously. But the new Defense Secretary now is signaling that he’s onboard with Bush’s determination to press ahead in Iraq until “victory.”

For the full story on the worsening Iraq debacle, go to the independent ConsortiumNews.Com.

    Losing control of congress does not seem to have altered the Presidents way of seeing reality at all. In Iraq as well as at home his ability to deny reality and misunderstand what is going on in the world borders on insanity. More and more it appears that the only way to provide security for America and the rest of the world is to impeach Bush and Cheney
