		<description>Robert Gates Sec of Defense was just on CNN. He made it very clear the US is not going to rearm Georgia and the decision to offer Georgia membership in NATO(it comes up again in Dec) will be made by all 26 nations. He also made it clear the Russians were looking for to take advantage of the situation and did so. The US will not being doing anything militarily to turn the situation around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have seen arguments for Obama keeping Gates based on  slapping down Air Force HQ over sloppy everything, his calling for strengthening the State Dept and by doing so understands that the US has lost its Prestige by not using soft power. Given whom he currently works for ..., but it is something that needs to be pursued. The Democratic bench for Armed Services is very thin, has very few people w/ combat experience and executive level experience in military matters. As much as we look forward to getting out of Iraq and the huge expenditure being there involves, Russia&#039;s action keeps security matters forefront.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The one guy I think Obama better get on the horn to is the Representative from SE Pennsylvania who was an Admiral. McCain is going to have many old guard  military people  out stumping for him about the dangers to the country.</description>
