They were just talking about the new book coming out on FOX. I think it will be one to curl up with since Global warming hasn't quite worked out for North America. It was written by Robert Gates and his time in the Military
Obama thought things were going to get better for him in 2014. If what they say about this book is true I doubt his job approval ratings are going to go up any time soon. :wink:
Now if Gates is saying the White House had TIGHT FISTED CONTROL over National Security how in sam h*ll can anyone believe he did not know what was really going on in Benghazi? And if he had a tight fisted control on National Security does anyone really believe he was/is in the dark about every friggin thing that his Administration has done domestically including the spying and targeting done by the IRS? His White House is going to be scrambling to dodge the questions the media are going to be firing at them after reading this book by the way it sounds

Gates acknowledges forthrightly in “Duty” that he did not reveal his dismay. “I never confronted Obama directly over what I (as well as [Hillary] Clinton, [then-CIA Director Leon] Panetta, and others) saw as the president’s determination that the White House tightly control every aspect of national security policy and even operations. His White House was by far the most centralized and controlling in national security of any I had seen since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger ruled the roost.”
It got so bad during internal debates over whether to intervene in Libya in 2011 that Gates says he felt compelled to deliver a “rant” because the White House staff was “talking about military options with the president without Defense being involved.”
