"how Gates’s bipartisan tenure allows him to contradict Obama without consequence"
Artful way of putting it. Gates is the fascist oligarch's running dog is how I would put it. Ray McGovern used to be his boss at the CIA (yes, that's the Cocaine Import Agency-heroin too and lots of it).

If Obama & Gates disagree on such an important issue, why is Gates still Obama's SecDef?
