Harry Reid: Gates Puts Others Down To Make A Buck

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says Robert Gates is motivated by money by putting out a book denigrating public officials.

Reid was one target of Gates in his book, while President Barack Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also came in for criticism.

Reid said he hasn’t spoken with Obama about the book. But he said he has discussed it with Biden.

In the book, Gates says Obama was frustrated with policy in Afghanistan, Biden has been wrong about almost every major foreign policy issue for decades, and Clinton said her opposition to a 2007 troop surge in Iraq was dictated by campaign politics. He also hit Reid for saying the surge wasn’t accomplishing anything because the war was lost.

In the book, Gates said it was “disgraceful” that Harry Reid called the Iraq war “lost.” Of course, it should never have been fought and could never have been won.
