The Gates Profile
William Arkin, usually a very moderate and careful writer, discusses the new SecDef Robert Gates today. He makes the case for why Gates is a bust and concludes with pretty much everything you'll need to know about the man:
Sorry America, there is no Santa Claus, at least not in the form of Robert Gates. We may have thought the humble, open-minded outsider was going to blow in to sweep away the old. Instead he is shaping up to be flaccid yes man, one who can't even get his timing right.
Badda boom, badda bing, and right on.
