I can agree with some of the statements in that that was what applied at the time. My question is, why was that the conditions?
Why was there no "ready force"? Why were there no "go to hell" plans? What Mr. Gates is really saying is that because nobody planned for anything to happen, they were unable to do anything when it did. Any so called "leader" sending people into a potentially hostile situation that does not have a plan for when things "go to hell" or "drop in the pot" is a piss poor "leader" and undeserving of respect or loyalty. Why Gates feels that he owes anything to Obama/Clinton, I don't really know, but his statements clearly show that Obama and Clinton were, in this instance, piss poor "leaders".
