Secretary Gates’ Legacy: A Nuclear-Armed Iran

Secretary Gates’ Legacy: A Nuclear-Armed Iran: "As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates prepares to retire to private life — after five years as the head of the Department of Defense in both the Bush and Obama administrations — praise is being heaped on him by Democrats and Republicans alike. Herein a dissenting view.

History will not be kind to Gates. Despite some noteworthy accomplishments, he will be remembered as the single most important facilitator of an Iranian regime with nuclear weapons. Future historians will compare him to Neville Chamberlain’s military advisers who opposed all forms of military intervention against the greatest potential danger of the era: an aggressively armed Nazi Germany in the 20th century. Gates' legacy will be a nuclear-armed Iran in the 21st century.
