| Keeping Gates around as Sec. of Defense for a year isn't such a bad idea.... |
|
Wesley Clark will be eligible for the position mid-2009. So just keep Gates around as a placeholder until Clark is eligible.....

| 1. Obama should can Gates' Number Two: Gordon England |
|
England is a lunatic still adhering to Rumsfeld's personnel policies and management.
Gordon England thinks that labour unions are communist fronts!
Gordon England MUST GO!

| 5. Keep Gates around not so much to be a placeholder |
|
but to have the edge.
If Gates does a good job then Obama looks good for keeping him on.
If Gates fails or doesn't do a good enough job he has reasonable cause to dismiss him.
