Can we recall him in the same way that we recall IRR Soldiers? That would be pretty sweet.

I’d like to believe that he’s retiring to run for President. But that’s too good to be true.

My only concern are the COINdinistas waiting in the wings to take that slot when its offered.

….but of course I’d dutifully support whomever it was. Didn’t want people to think that I’d publicly disagree with a government official. ;o) I don’t think I’m smart enough to lecture at Yale too.

Gates for President? Yes it would be too good to be true Schmedlap, SecDef Gates owns a home in Skagit County, Washington State (north of Seattle) which I’m informed he plans on retiring to.

I’m only wishing he would stay because his replacement will inevitably be even worse.
