Robert Gates' Brain Has Rotted

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is keeping up his long-held mantra (can’t blame Obama for this position Gates is taking) to normalize relations with the government in Iran. This government is run by a hostage-taker who stormed the United States Embassy in Iran and held Americans hostage for 444 days. That government. The government that calls the United States the “Great Satan.”

As to Iran’s rapidly developing nuclear weapons program, Gates says we and our “allies” (remember, Obama says we don’t have any allies anymore) need to convince Iran that its nuclear arms program will set off an “arms race” that will allegedly leave Iran less secure.

What the what???

Exactly what arms race does Gates think Iran is going to run? The United States has already won the arms race with Iran. What else will the US and its “allies” have to spend to win this arms race with Iran? What in the world does Gates think Iran is spending its money to achieve. I can guarantee you Iran’s government could not care less what the United States is spending its arms money on.

Gates’ other bad idea to isolate Iran is to pursue a “partnership” with Russia on missile defense programs. Oh yea, our “allies” (like Russia, one supposes) also need to put economic sanctions on Iran. You know, because they have been so willing to do so before.

So, Robert Gates, let me hip you on a few things.

First, Iran’s nuclear program is not aimed at the United States, and it will not engage the United States with a nuclear bomb. There is no arms race we can run that will be joined by Iran. No such arms race will destabilize Iran. Your plan is the same sort of mushy Harvard dorm room thinking that got Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions. Oh wait, North Korea is still pursuing the bomb. Well, I guess you got an A on your paper in college. This ain’t college.

Second, we don’t have allies. Obama said so. And Obama is right, when it comes to asking countries like Russia, China, Turkey, and others to stop providing Iran with trade, commerce, and materials and hit Iran with sanctions. Gates is starting to act like the skank gutter trash that keeps getting kicked to the curb, but still goes back to his abusive boyfriends China and Russia because he really, really wants to be liked by these abusive louts.

Third, missile defense programs are there to protect us FROM Russia. Cooperation with Russia on the systems merely gives Russia the ability to defeat our defenses. Did you not take an oath to DEFEND the United States.

I hope somebody in the Senate grows a pair an calls Gates out on this mushy-headed thinking. Gates is starting to sound like a full blown McGovernite.
