| ..The Honorable Mr Gates - and I mean no sarcasm YET, for we here at the 'Burg will give a man a chance - wrote this in a book about his time at the CIA. H/T to www.powerline.com - Mike "...The book's major surprise was its assessment of President Carter. "Carter's record in dealing with the Soviet Union," the book says, "was far more complex and successful than commonly believed at the time or since. Indeed, he was the most consistently — if often unintentionally — truculent President in relations with the Soviets since Harry Truman...If people had known what he was doing secretly to take on the Soviets, perceptions likely would have been different."...." This can NOT be good...

| #2 "If people had known what he was doing secretly to take on the Soviets, perceptions likely would have been different." A for instance would strengthen his case. |

| #1 Truculent. Bah. Eagerness to argue is not what the US needed to end the Soviet Empire. Reagan was pro-freedom; he communicated and acted accordingly. By contrast Carter has supported and encouraged tyrants all over the planet. Carter was and remains an anti-American malaise to the core. If Robert Gates praises him one should question his motives. |
