DEMOCRATS
The former defense secretary who served under both Obama and George W. Bush has less than glowing praise for America’s top two elected officials.
In a new memoir, “Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War,” former Pentagon chief Robert Gates writes that Obama lacked commitment to the decisions he made about his strategy in Afghanistan.
He also writes that the White House's national security staff lacked experience and tended towards "micromanagement of military matters."
His words for Vice President Joe Biden are even more harsh.
“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” Gates wrote of Biden.
