More Bush

Wow, I am getting older and my memory is starting to fade. But I think it was Mr. Obama, current office golder of the President elect, who was highly critical of the Bush administration's war effort.

Obviously, I've got a little old timer memory loss. It must have been The Maverick who was critical of all things Iraq. How else can you explain this....

Sources tell ABC News that Defense Secretary Robert Gates will be staying on in the top Pentagon job, for at least the first year of the Obama administration. "It is a done deal," a source close to the process tells ABC News.

Gates, while a registered independent, has served numerous Republican administrations. President George W. Bush nominated Gates to replace the Donald Rumsfeld after the 2006 midterm elections, when the war in Iraq was spiraling out of control.

The former Eagle Scout is expected to be rolled out immediately after the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend as part of a larger national security team expected to include Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, as Secretary of State; Marine Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.) as National Security Adviser; Admiral Dennis Blair (Ret.) as Director of National Intelligence; and Dr. Susan Rice as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

The next thing you're going to tell me is Obama voted for the FISA bill while he was a senator running for president.
