Having moved from the Bush administration to Obama’s camp, Defense Secretary Robert Gates takes stock of the White House’s new occupant on Sunday’s episode of “Fareed Zakaria GPS”  and defends Obama’s recent diplomatic outreach during his international debut: “I have not seen it as an apology tour,” says Gates.

BABY KILLER GATES BUT
WAIT THEY ARE GOING TO DO AN INVESTIGATION

ARE YOU ONE OF THE MEN THAT LIKE TO WIN HERE ON TRUTHDIG THAT WOULD LIKE TO TAKE GATES DOWN TO SIZE?

The big problem in America today is that most are paranoid.  Why not?  Seems everyday the powerbrokers drop a new crisis.

But paranoid or not we better get our act together now before we rot.

The only hope that we have right now is the words in the Constitution that allows us as a people to take over when all is wrong with out taking it to the streets.

So those of us that comment on TRUTHDIG can keeping digging for more proof more reason idle chit chat or we can finally come together as a communed people and get down to business of taking back our Solvency and Sovereignty as a people who can rule themselves.

And I must get some proof from some of you that you can hear the drumbeat of the tyrants outside our doors if not I will quit wasting my time around here.

Not one person commenting here or looking in has asked to be sent the business plan of We The Peoples Advocates WHY?  Who knows but I will tell you for the last time there are no other way than beat the Bilderbergs at their own game. 

HELP US HELP YOU FREE OUR NATION FROM TYRANNY

We The Peoples Advocates WTPA are providing the only HOPE in saving our great nation.  So JOIN IN and ENLIST to serve with your VOICES being heard and your VOTES being counted and moved along to our lobby group in Washington DC to power push the peoples needs, wants and wishes in our cities, states and Federal Governments for all Americans to have the rights to life in all ways in equity adjudicated by the Bar of Justice.

Ahh yes, more from the man who almost singlehandedly corrupted CIA intelligence gathering to reflect the political requirements of his bosses. Truth from Mr. Gates, not bloody likely!

His retention was a definite warning sign of an Obama administration careening off course.

Sure, we still have the big stick.  Too bad for Gates and the other silly little boys running U.S. foreign policy (which includes the war-making) that they haven’t the faintest clue how to use it.

Mr. Gates, you stinking babykiller, why don’t you take that big stick, that we PAID FOR, and shove it as far as you possibly can, up your a hole?

Yes Mr Gates, we know you still have a big stick. But, Mr Gates, do you know what we would like you to do with it ?!

Oh, Mr. Gates, please don’t do the “waving my big stick around” routine. Did anyone ever doubt it was all about phallowars, my rocket is bigger than your rocket, my drone can stay up longer than your drone, my bang is louder than your bang?

Do you have to go out and prove it?
