Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates set off shockwaves in Washington with accounts from his upcoming memoir, in which he unleashes blistering criticism of Congress and his former colleagues in the Obama administration.

He also claims the President lost faith in his own Afghanistan policy. Gates’ comments come in his memoir “Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War,” set to be released this week. The New York Times and the Washington Post, which obtained copies of the book before its release, reported that Gates alsoquestioned the President’s support for thetroops’ mission in Iraq.

Continued from Page 3According to the New York Times ac-

count, Gates writes, “[Obama] eventu-ally lost faith in the troop increase he ordered in Afghanistan, his doubts fed by top White House civilian advisers opposed to the strategy, who continu-ally brought him negative news reports suggesting it was failing.”

Gates, a Republican appointee of President George W. Bush who stayed on into Obama’s administration, also writes of a pivotal 2011 meeting in which Obama questions the abilities of Gen. David H. Petraeus.

“As I sat there, I thought: The presi-dent doesn’t trust his commander, can’t stand Karzai, doesn’t believe in his own strategy and doesn’t consider the war to be his…For him, it’s all about getting out,” Gates writes.

A source familiar with White House thinking on how to respond to what’s

in Gates’ memoir told CNN that White House officials have been in meetings on the issue and were reaching out to allies to defend the President against the claims.

The source said they are being careful not to attack Gates directly, thinking that will backfire.

Officials believe Obama’s foreign policy legacy is strong because of his Afghanistan policies and the kill-

ing of Osama bin Laden, and that Gates’ accusations don’t hurt with the Demo-cratic base.

A White House official called attention to two parts of the book that reflect positively on the Pres-ident. In The Washington Post article, Gates said of Obama’s chief Afghani-stan policies, “I believe Obama was right in each of these decisions.”

“I never doubted Obama’s support for the troops,” Gates writes. The offi-cial, however, did not highlight the rest of the sentence, which says “only his support for their mission.”

A former White House official con-tested the excerpts saying, “I thought the President was a close ally of Gates. It’s disappointing, because if Gates had issues you would’ve expected him to raise them. When I spoke to Gates about the president he was always ef-fusive.”

National Security Council spokes-woman Caitlin Hayden said the Presi-dent “deeply appreciates Gates’ ser-vice” and is open to differing points of view from his national security team.

“Delibera-tions over our policy on Af-ghanistan have been widely reported on over the years, and it is well known that the President has been committed to achieving the mission of disrupt-ing, dis-mantling and defeat-ing al Qa-eda, while also ensur-ing that we have a clear plan for wind-ing down the war, which will end this year,” Hayden said in response to the comments.

A senior U.S. military official in-volved in some of the events described in the book expressed dismay with Gates, telling CNN that if Gates had been in uniform and felt that the Presi-dent and his staff were deficient, he would have had an obligation to resign. He noted some may feel Gates also had the same obligation given that he signed orders sending troops off to war.

This official was directly involved in Afghanistan troop surge discussions. He was adamant the military command-

ers did not “game” the President on the numbers, but they came to realize Obama felt that way.

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake tweeted in response to reports of the memoir, criticizing the timing of the former de-fense secretary’s comments.

Criticism of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden

Gates was also critical of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, recounting a conversation between Obama and Clinton suggesting political motives for their positions on Iraq.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates basically calls Joe Biden

a giant risk to national security in his memoir “Duty: Memoirs of

a Secretary at War.”


“Hillary told the president that her opposition to the [2007] surge in Iraq has been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary,” Gates writes. “The president conced-ed vaguely that opposition to the Iraq surge had been political. To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying.”

The former White House official responded, “President Obama evalu-ated the merits of the surge but his opposition to it was not po-litical, rather in line with his thought that more of the same was not the right path.”

Of Biden, Gates wrote, “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security is-sue over the past four decades.”

Hayden said Obama disagrees with Gates’ assessment of Biden and hailed the Vice President as “one of the lead-ing statesmen of his time.”

Criticism of Congressmore severe

For as scathing as Gates was in de-scribing the Obama administration, the former defense secretary said none of the difficulties he had with the execu-tive branch “compared with the pain of dealing with Congress,” a body he describes as phony, self-centered and narrow-minded.

“Congress is best viewed from a dis-tance — the farther the better — be-cause up close, it is truly ugly,” Gates wrote in a piece in the Wall Street Jour-nal, which was adapted from his book.

“I saw most of Congress as uncivil, incompetent at fulfilling their basic constitutional responsibilities (such as timely appropriations), micromanage-rial, parochial, hypocritical, egotistical, thin-skinned and prone to put self (and re-election) before country.”

Gates opened the piece by writing that in the numerous times he testi-fied before Congress, he found himself “tempted to stand up, slam the brief-ing book shut and quit on the spot” be-cause of the “rude, insulting, belittling, bullying and all too often highly per-sonal attacks” one has to endure dur-ing congressional testimony.

He said if he had done so, he would have told Congress, “I may be the sec-retary of defense, but I am also an American citizen, and there is no son of a b---- in the world who can talk to me like that.”

“Members postured and acted as judge, jury and executioner,” he wrote.

His hypothesis as to why so many members “were in a permanent state of outrage:” The members must have

“suffered from some sort of mental duress that warranted confinement or at least treatment for anger man-agement.”

Another congressional thorn in Gates’ side brought to light in his opin-ion editorial is how Congress handled deciding which defense instillations and bases to close during budget tight-ening.

Gates wrote that “any defense facil-ity or contract in their district or state, no matter how superfluous or wasteful, was sacrosanct,” even if the member had “stridently attacked the Defense Department as inefficient and waste-ful.”

Why he wrote the book—now

Critics of the memoir blasted Gates for publishing the critique in the mid-dle of the Obama’s second term, saying the more appropriate move would have been to wait until after his former boss leaves the White House in 2016.

A source close to Gates noted that he’s a historian by nature and wanted to document what went on but didn’t want to wait because he believed the content of his book is all still relevant and should be discussed real time, es-pecially issues of war and the troops.

The dysfunction in Washington and the way commanders and gener-als were treated really upset him, the source added.

Gates disagrees that his decision to release the book now is disloyal. In fact, he believes just the opposite and stands by all of it, the source said.

As for Gates’ stinging criticism of Congress, the source said Gates had the most disdain for the House Foreign Affairs Committee, though he didn’t give specific names of lawmakers. n

He said if he had done so, he would have told Congress, “I may be the secretary of

defense, but I am also an American citizen, and there is no son of a b---- in the world

who can talk to me like that.”

First FMRadio Broadcast


By Ross TuckerHe spent 30 years in the U.S. mili-

tary, earned three graduate degrees and eventually worked his way to the Pentagon before retiring — but today, former Air Force Col. Robert Freniere, 59, is living out of his van, filling out job applications on public computers in libraries.

Freniere’s story stands in stark contrast to common beliefs about un-employed, homeless veterans being made up of former soldiers from the rank-and-file. But an in-depth profile of Freniere by The Philadelphia Inquirer shows that problems affecting veterans don’t discriminate based on chain of command; they go up to the top brass.

How could this have happened? The answer is complex and representative of what veterans face when they at-tempt to re-enter civilian life.

After retiring, it took Freniere a year to get a job with a defense con-tractor. When that work dried up, it was hard to find a civilian job that comple-mented his background in intelligence. A divorce, the costs of two kids’ college expenses and struggles with dyslexia left Freniere calling his van his home.

According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, some 58,000

Homeless former colonel’s storyillustrates problems facing U.S. vets

vets face life on the street each day, and “over the course of a year, approxi-mately twice that many experience homelessness,” the organization says. “Only 7% of the general population can claim veteran status, but nearly 13% of the homeless adult population are veterans.”

Unemployment is an even bigger problem. The rate among veterans who have served since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon stands at 10 percent, or 246,000 out of work. For those under

age 25, the rate increases dramatically to 30 percent.

But Freniere isn’t giving up.“I’m a military guy. I’m mission-ori-

ented,” he told the Inquirer. “I’ve got

a lot of good experience. I’ve got two beautiful sons. I’ve got a van. I don’t know how long it’s going to hold up, but I’ve got it. I’ve got a lot of things to be thankful for.” n

Colonel Bob Freniere doesn’t dress in his Air

Force Colonel’s uniform anymore since he is re-

tired but he carries it with him, along with all

of his other possessions, now that he is living out

of his van.

VACATION

The MXT135 Counter Defilade Tar-get Engagement System has a range of roughly 7,800 feet — and is to be de-ployed in Afghanistan soon. I would call it the “Equalizer.” Some call it the “Punisher.”

The rifle’s gun sight uses a laser range finder to determine the exact distance to the obstruction, after which the soldier can add or subtract up to 10 meters from that distance to enable the bullets to clear the barrier and ex-plode above or beside the target. Sol-diers will be able to use them to target snipers hidden in trenches rather than calling in air strikes.

The 35-millimeter round contains a chip that receives a radio signal from the gun sight as to the precise distance to the target.

Lt. Col. Christopher Lehner, project manag-er for the sys-tem, de-scribed the weapon as a ‘game-changer’ that other nations will try and copy.

The Army plans to buy 42,500 of the MXT135 rifles this year, enough for ev-ery member of the infantry and special forces, at a cost of $11,900.00 each.

Lehner told Fox News: “With this weapon system, we take away cover from [enemy targets] forever. Tactics are going to have to be rewritten. The only thing we can see [enemies] being able to do is run away.”

Experts say the rifle means that en-emy troops will no longer be safe if

NEW U.S. ARMY RIFLE

The ‘Punisher’they take cover. The MXT135 appears to be the perfect weapon for street-to-street fighting that troops in Afghan-istan have to engage in, with enemy fighters hiding behind walls and only breaking cover to fire occasionally.

The weapon’s laser finder would work out how far away the enemy was and then the U.S. Soldier would add one meter using a button near the trig-ger.

When fired, the explosive round would carry exactly one meter past the wall and explode with the force of a hand grenade above the Taliban fight-er.

A patent granted to the bullet’s mak-er, Alliant Tech systems, reveals that the chip can determine how far it has

traveled. Mr. Tamilio said: “You could

shoot a Jave-lin missile, and it would cost about $69,000. These rounds will end up cost-ing $45.00 a piece.”

They’re relatively cheap. Lehner added: “This is a game-changer. The en-emy has learned to get cover, for hun-dreds if not thousands of years. Well, they can’t do that anymore.

We’re taking that cover from them and there’s only two outcomes: We’re going to get you behind that cover or force you to flee.”

The rifle will initially use high-ex-plosive rounds, but its makers say that it might later use versions with smaller explosive charges that aim to stun rath-er than kill. n

What one of the revolutionary bullets looks like that can be pre-programmed to explode to hit troops that are hiding. GO USA !!!

Wiener waiverA man and his wife are doing yard

work. Husband says to wife, “Your butt is as wide as the grill.” She ignores

the remark. A little later the husband takes his measuring tape and goes over to his wife while she is bending over working in a flower bed. He measures her rear end and gasps, “Geez, it IS as wide as the grill!” Later that night while in bed her husband starts to feel frisky. She calmly responds, “If you think I’m gonna fire up the grill for one little wiener, you ARE mistaken.”

Utterly terrified, the man screamed, “Stop, stop! you’re not going to cut it off, are you? ARE YOU?”

“Nope,” replied the construction worker, “You are...I’m going to set the garage on fire.”

Everybody can’t be wrongA man died in a horrible fire. The

mortician thought it was George, but the body was so badly burned that somebody would need to make a posi-tive identification. That task fell to George’s two friends, Joe and Al.

Joe: “He’s burnt pretty bad, all right. Roll him over.” Joe looked at the dead man’s buttocks and said, “Nope, that ain’t George.”

Thinking the incident strange, the mortician straightened up the body and said nothing. He brought in Al.

Al: “Wow, he’s burnt to a crisp. Roll him over.” Again, “Nope, that ain’t George.”

Mortician: “How can you tell?” Al: “George had two a--holes.” Mortician: “What? How could he

have two a--holes?” Al: “Everybody knew George had

two a--holes. Whenever the three of us would go into town you’d hear people say, “Here comes George with those two a--holes!”

Story and photos by Doug AguillardThere was a time, not too long ago,

when the only time to go whale watch-ing in San Diego waters was the gray whale migration from December through March. Things have changed in the last two to three years where you can expect to see whales of several different species year round. The food supply in the local seas have changed

IT’S A WHALE OF A GOOD TIME

WHALE WATCHING

and now, anytime you go out on a whale watching boat, you have a great chance of seeing a whale.

So far this year, the gray whale migration is seeing record

numbers of these large baleen whales heading south, down to

the warm water lagoons of Baja California to give birth and mate. They are coming from the Arctic, and in impressive numbers. This is the longest mammal migration known. Also being seen, but not every day are fin whales, the second largest mammal in the world,

and the rare Minke Whale.Around May, the largest mam-

mal in the world has recently de-cided to call the waters off of Southern California home, and that is the blue whale, which can reach lengths of up to 100 feet long. On any given day, the whale watching fleet has seen up to 18 blue whales between Pt. Loma and the Coronado Islands. The acrobatic Humped-backed Whales can occur year round also.

When it comes to dolphins, this is where it gets really exciting, especially

for the kids, as large pods of common dolphins, will come rushing towards your boat and ride the bow, as if they are surfing, while others will be leap-ing in the air, as if simply for play. Oth-er Dolphins in our local waters include the bottle-nosed, Rissos, and in the winter time, the Pacific white-sided. Very rare in spring and early summer,
