Bush's Secretary of Defense: "...I'm no expert on Iraq"


Bush's new Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, just said this today testifying before the House Armed Services Committee. He's no expert on Iraq? Funny, that's not what the White House claimed just two months ago. See White House Web site.

The man was a member of the Iraq Study Group, yet he's still not an expert on Iraq even today? He's a 27 year veteran of the CIA and the NSC. He was the number 2 guy at the NSC during the first Iraq war. He's received countless briefings about the situation in Iraq, since he is after all the Secretary of Defense, the guy running the war. Yet he's still not an expert on the country or the war.

Then what the hell is Robert Gates doing running the Department of Defense when we're at war in Iraq?
