THE U.S SHOULD BE INFLUENCING THE CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE EAST INSTEAD OF REACTING TO IT

IF ROBERT GATES HAD BEEN ONE OF LINCOLN'S GENERALS DURING THE CIVIL WAR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED QUICKLEY.
However we are in a time when politics is more important than results. There is a golden opportunity to reconfigure the middle east in a way that favors the U.S. What is Robert Gates doing about that? He is sitting on his hands waiting for the wind to blow in the right direction. Lincoln would have fired Gates long ago because soldigers know the breaks come to those that make them. While Gates sits and waits for things to go his way the wind is starting to blow in the wrong direction.
A GOOD TRADE BUY: Monday buy jnj. There isnt any question that the market is starting to weaken
