"We Have To Be A Little Courageous"
|
Defense Secretary Robert Gates ducking a question from Senator Arlen Spector at a recent Senate Appropriations Subcommittee meeting. Secretary Gates is one of a growing list of "appeasers", now including Secretary of State Rice, former Secretary of State James Baker, Senator Barack Obama, the nation of Israel and, obviously, Senator Arlen Spector. I particularly like Senator Spector's comment: "It's not appeasement. The analogy to Neville Chamberlain is wrong. We've only got one government to deal with there (Iran). They were receptive in 2003....and I think there is an opportunity for dialog, but I think we have to be a little courageous about it and take a chance because the alternatives are very, very, very bleak." |
