New SecDef Robert Gates started nis new job by saying that failure in Iraq would be a "calamity" that would haunt the U.S. for many years.
From BREITBART:
"All of us want to find a way to bring America's sons and daughters home again," Gates, 63, said after taking the oath of office as defense secretary from Vice President Dick Cheney at a Pentagon ceremony. "But as the president has made clear, we simply cannot afford to fail in the Middle East. Failure in Iraq at this juncture would be a calamity that would haunt our nation, impair our credibility, and endanger Americans for decades to come."
Gates also promised "candor and honest counsel" as he takes the reins from outgoing SecDef Donald Rumsfeld.
Rumsfeld, meanwhile, was called a "Hitler-type" by The View's Joy Behar, proving that Rosie O'Donnell isn't the only big-mouthed idiot on the show. There's video at Hot Air.
