| Subject: LOL, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates blasts Obama Tue Jan 07, 2014 8:30 pm | |
| Despite serving eight United States presidents, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says President Barack Obama’s White House staff was the most “centralized and controlling” about national security policy since the Richard Nixon administration.
Gates relays in a new memoir how President Obama’s national security staff was often intent on wresting control over war policy from the Pentagon. He says Obama’s inner-circle, most with only political or academic backgrounds, became “increasingly operational,” which resulted in “micromanagement of military matters - a combination that had proven disastrous in the past.”
