US Defense Secretary doesn't know if invading Iraq was a good idea

David Brooks in the NYT:

I asked him whether invading Iraq was a good idea, knowing what we know now. He looked at me for a bit and said, “I don’t know.”

That's not candor, it's horrifying. Nearly 3,800 American troops are dead and their chief doesn't know if the war they died for is a good idea?

Here's the whole demoralizing article:

The Education of Robert Gates, September 19, 2007



Sometimes, there are just no words.

1. But he wants to maintain the escalation. WAR CRIMINAL!!

2. Hmmm..asked of Petraeus, "Is the United States safer since we invaded Ieaq?" Answer, "I don't know."

They both must be reading from the same talking points book.
