Robert Gates


"Bob, today you're not only one of the longest-serving secretaries of defense in American history but it's also clear you've been one of the best...."  

The country loses today.   We lost a great Defense Secretary.  Selecting him after dumping Donald Rumsfeld - the worst Secretary of Defense in our nation's long history - was one of the very few things Bush got right.   ...And I'm no Johnny-come-lately on that.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
