What Robert Gates once called "inconceivable to me" — his remaining as defense secretary beyond Inauguration Day — is looking a bit more conceivable to the rest of Washington.

What would be wrong with that. He is not the unfappable Rumsfeild who was so set in his ways that he could not cvhange or adapt to changing conditions in the field. Gates is down to earth and has common sense, and listens to his advisers as people with knowledge and perspective. Do you see some thing else.

It's time for them to put up or shut up.
