What do you wonderfully opinionated people think about whether Obama should keep on Sec of Defense Robert Gates? I think he should. He's done a very good job and seems to be a moderate in thinking. He's for closing of Guantanimo I believe.

Yes, it is critical that he has someone in there that knows what is going on.

He is not at serious policy odds with he Obama team and above all, he didnt have any hand in the Iraq wr, so why not?

Apparently it's a done deal and Gates will be staying on for at least a year. I heard the Obama people said they want to have continuity in the Pentagon with two wars going on. I wonder if that will satisfy those who have been complaining there hadn't been any Republicans appointed so far. Annie
