With regard to Gates, I can't imagine that he will have any problem being confirmed. He is very well respected by both parties. I believe he has worked for Presidents from both parties.

He is not well respected by both parties. He has never worked for a Democrat either. He worked for Nixon and then was Ford's Chief of Staff. He worked for Reagan too. The good Bush 41, hates him. He is a neocon who helped found the neocon school or what they call the New American Century. He is an arrogant jerk and history will place him right next to McNamara.
How much of his $100 million is he donating to the kids who lost their limbs over there fighting a ridiculous war. Maybe if he wasn't so interested in transforming the army into a high tech one where big business can make more money, he would have put the needed soldiers on the ground. He should have stopped at Afghanistan, but we all know Rumsfeld was one of those guys who wanted to invade Iraq since Bush became President.
