Unusual to have two SECDEFs criticize the President they served - TopicsExpress



          

Unusual to have two SECDEFs criticize the President they served like this, and while he is still the President... I think it reflects the obvious high level of frustration they had with the NSC Staff in the White House and the politicization of defense policy. Gates has long been known as a Republican, and Panetta a Democrat. I appreciate their candor now... our citizens need to know. The development and execution of the ISIS, Iraq, and Syria strategies have been an embarrassment for our nation, and I think a large part of these failures were result of short-term objectives being all politically driven. I bet being a cabinet official in this White House would be difficult, with all the major decisions being made in the White House staff, and little autonomy given the departments.
