MFSO Concerned About Gates' Continued Tenure at Pentagon
Members of Military Families Speak Out greeted the announcement of the composition of President-Elect Barack Obama's national security team with concern, and reiterated their call for the Obama administration to bring an immediate end to the war in . The announcement that Robert Gates will continue to serve as Secretary of Defense raised particular concern among members of the organization.
Keri Wheelwright, a member of Military Families Speak Out from Fountain Hills, AZ
"On November 4 our country voted for change. The mere possibility of a continuation of Bush's deadly and illegal policies by extending the tenure of Secretary Gates strikes fear in the hearts of military families. As the wife of a deployed Army Captain who's deployment was extended to 15 months thanks to Gates' policies, I am disheartened by this choice. Our troops need to be brought home now. Real lives and livelihoods are at stake, and for our brave soldiers and their families this is more than politics. This war based on lies must end, and anyone who doesn't fully understand that should have no place in a presidential administration."
Larry Syverson, a member of Military Families Speak Out from Richmond, VA added:
"As the father of three active duty sons, who between them, have had five tours in , I was guardedly optimistic with the election of Barack Obama. I hoped a change in the administration would bring a change in the policy and keep my oldest son from being deployed next spring. That optimism diminished with the announcement that Robert Gates would continue to be the Secretary of Defense. To this military father, it looks like a continuation of the same failed policies that have resulted in the deaths of over 4200 service members and over a million Iraqis.
That is not the change I hoped for. That is not the change military families need. We need a real change in the policy. We need to bring our troops home now."

The anti war movement has failed to this point
There is seemingly no leverage that we americans who oppose for profit wars have. Many of us saw the pro war pro ruling class stance that Obama openly displays however there is nothing that has tempered these behaviors yet. Some of us knew this was coming not because we are so smart, but simply because we paid attention to the writing on the wall. We need to all open our eyes to see some of the biggest war criminals are our fellow dems. It is up to the american people to stop the crimes being committed in our names with our money. We need to make changes at the source by taking control of the monetary system that maintains the strangle hold the so called defense industry has over our lives.

Gates Honored To Serve Obama
President Elect Barack Obama made it crystal clear that he has a different mission for Bush's Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, and that's to begin a responsible drawdown of American forces in Iraq, click here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPa58yvDpFA
Gates indicated he is honored to serve in that capacity and so begins the end of Bush's imperial fantasy of occupying a sovereign land by brute force in perpetuity.
Gates & Iran-Contra
Gates played a major role in the Iran-Contra affair and was instrumental in Reagan's deal w/ Iran to keep the 52 hostages in custody untill after Reagan was elected, this alone should make him unacceptable to any American. The fact that Obama doesn't recognize this is very troubeling to say the least. Politics as usual and damn what the lowly citizens want is not "Change we can believe in".
