    Tells Obama's national security adviser to shut the F up. Basically calling out Obama and his shameful campaigning off of the SEALs' hard work.

    Gates to National Security Team on Osama Raid: 'Shut the F--- Up'
    4:27 PM, Jun 6, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER


    Robert Gates, the former defense secretary, reportedly blasted the national security team in the Obama White House for blabbing about the raid to kill Osama bin Laden. "Shut the f--- up," Gates told Tom Donilon, who is now Obama's national security adviser, according to a book by New York Times reporter David Sanger.
    Robert Gates.

    “By Wednesday of that week, Gates went to see Donilon, offering up a barbed assessment of how the White House had handled the aftermath of the raid. ‘I have a new strategic communications approach to recommend,’ Gates said in his trademark droll tones, according to an account later provided by his colleagues. What was that, Donilon asked? ‘Shut the **** up,’ the defense secretary said.”

    The interesting detail is in Sanger's new book, Confront and Conceal, on page 107

    Gates is no longer in the Obama administration, and has since voiced his displeasure over the bin Laden leaks. But this new detail signals a frustration above and beyond what has previously been expressed.

    A bit unrelated, but I'll toss it in this thread as opposed to starting a new thread

    I received the communique below from a confidential source this evening.

    Soon, very soon, the D&D will become interesting again.

    Looks like he insulted him rather than humiliated him.

    To quote Ima2K... I sense something; a presence I've not felt since...

    It will be interesting to see what #4468 can bring after all his years away from the table.

    Hey Bigtexx, Gates has a policy for you...shut the f___ up!"

    Obama put in a Republican in as his secretary of defense and turned out that Obama was more Hawkish than Gates. And you still whine!

    It's 6/8/12 and the perpetrator of the largest terrorist attack on U.S. soil is still dead. And bigtexxx still hates that.

    That's wrong. I love the mission the SEALs accomplished in killing bin laden.

    You just hate that it happened during Obama's administration.

    Sucks to be you.

    The only way the OP would get some is if a woman died and willed it to him.

    And then...maybe.

    It's Bush's fault poor OBL is dead since the groundwork was laid in the Bush administration. Oh wait, Obama only takes credit for the good things but pushes all the blame for bad things on Bush.

    So if bush laid the groundwork to kill OBL it stands to reason he laid the groundwork for the economy collapsing correct?
