If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck it is most likely a duck. If my memory serves me correctly, Secretary Gates was involved with the Cocaine Cowboys of George Bush Senior’s and Oliver North’s Iran- Contra Crimes. America has a witness to crimes against the American People, who never spoke of what he knew about the crimes of George Bush Senior’s Cocaine Cowboys, [The Iran-Contra Affair] is now the new Cocaine Cowboy Secretary of Defense.  The Cocaine that Bush Senior’s  Government smuggled into America to pay for it’s illegal War in Central America IS CRIME. Why would any country want a person who does not respond to questions that were asked about what he knew of crimes that were committed by the Government of George Bush Senior? Would you trust a scumbag like that to give an honest response to questions asked about what he knows of the War Crimes of George W. Bush including torture, kidnapping, secret treaties with countries who DO torture people and of course the original questions concerning the original War Criminal President George Bush Senior’s involvement in the crimes[Cocaine Smuggling and Gunrunning] of Iran-Contra that were perpetrated against the Peoples of Central America and America?
