Quote of the Day

“Well all I would say is what I was saying earlier in the week was simply that I thought that in the middle of a major international crisis that some of the criticism – domestic criticism of the President ought to be toned down while he’s trying to handle this crisis. My own view is, after all, Putin invaded Georgia when George W. Bush was president. Nobody ever accused George W. Bush of being weak or unwilling to use military force.”

— Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, in an interview on Fox News.
