Jack & Jill Politics

Seems that Defense Sec Gates is tired of having his recommendations ridiculed and attacked by fellow Republicans simply because Obama is the one implementing them.

the following from the NY Times is regarding the missile defense changes in Europe:

“I believe this is a very pragmatic proposal. I have found since taking this post that when it comes to missile defense, some hold a view bordering on theology that regards any change of plans or any cancellation of a program as abandonment or even breaking faith,” Gates said.

…Gates, however, said it was “a better way forward” and argued that Europe will still have missile defense under it. He said it was a distortion to call the new plan “some sort of concession to Russia.”

Amazing. <3

angelar, i am with you on truthtelling. i think we need to scrap capitalism, socialism and as Grace Lee Boggs and John Foster said on Democracy Now, rethink what democracy means and what economics mean in a new democracy:

(too bad that even Amy Goodman resorts to soundbite journalism for these issues would take a lot longer to develop and discuss than the five minutes they allotted here)
