What was his response on Afghanistan?HeadCiv78 said:
Just watched the 60 Minutes segment on his response to Afghanistan and the capitol riots.
That man shouldn't have stopped when he left A&M.
He would be a great President of the United States, particularly where we find ourselves now.

He said the withdrawal was a disaster and made him physically ill. He also admitted he was part of the problem - he was part of making the Afghan military in our image. Too complicated and set them up to fail without our assistance.

Robert Gates' letter to the Wall Street Journal earlier this year:
"Regarding your editorial "The Biden Contradiction" (Oct. 30): Since entering public service 54 years ago, I have avoided getting involved in partisan politics. While it is certainly fair to quote my criticisms of Joe Biden's record on national security, fairness requires me to note for the record that those comments written in 2014 also noted that Mr. Biden was a man of genuine integrity and character. It is also worth noting that I wrote in these very pages that Donald Trump "is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and temperamentally unsuited to lead our men and women in uniform. He is unqualified and unfit to be commander-in-chief" ("Sizing Up the Next Commander-in-Chief," op-ed, Sept. 17, 2016).

Aggies can be quite stupid sometimes. Neocons have wasted trillions trying to bring muh democracy to people who don't want it yet we celebrate them for some reason.
Ignoring his comments on Trump the bolded is an absolute embarrassing take by Gates. I mean, wow. Cringeworthy.UTExan said:

He started pretty clearly he's not a Biden fan.
I saw that, and my thought was that Gates needs to stop watching CNN and other bull***t "news" sources.Quote:
That being said, I was a bit surprised that someone with his vast experience and sobriety would fall for the more facile take of the guy carrying a Confederate flag in the Capitol

Yes, that shows a serious lack of intelligence and/or awareness. Dude, is just cringeCanyonAg77 said:dmart90 said:Jason C. said:

He also reaffirmed his comment in his book that Biden was a man of integrity.
That makes me question Gates's judgement.
Yes, but I expect nothing less of CNN hacks or any MSM water-carrier for the Dems.CanyonAg77 said:I saw that, and my thought was that Gates needs to stop watching CNN and other bull***t "news" sources.Quote:

Anderson Cooper also repeated the myth that January 6 was an "insurrection", when no one is charging that.
