"Don't Mess With Us"
Gates puts the world on notice as the transition approaches:
Mr. Gates, who was speaking at a conference on regional
security, said that Mr. Obama and his advisers had done more extensive
planning across the government for the transition than at any time he
could remember and asserted that they would therefore be prepared from
their first day in office. Mr. Gates, who is staying on as defense
secretary, has worked for seven presidents; Mr. Obama will be his
eighth. “So anyone who thought that the upcoming months might present
opportunities to ‘test’ the new president would be sorely mistaken,”
Mr. Gates said at the conference. “President Obama and his national
security team, myself included, will be ready to defend the interests
of the United States and our friends and allies from the moment he
takes office on Jan. 20.”
