Bush's Defense Secretary Destroys GOP Talking Points Against Obama's Handling Of Crimea | ThinkProgress
So shut up about Obama being weak. Putin is determined to make Russia a world power and Europe and their weenies are allowing him to do it.
My own view is, after all, Putin invaded Georgia when George W. Bush was president. Nobody ever accused George W. Bush of being weak or unwilling to use military force, Gates, who served as Defense Secretary for Presidents George W. Bush and Obama said. So I think Putin is very opportunistic in these arenas. I think that even if even if we had launched attacks in Syria, even if we werent cutting our defense budget I think Putin saw an opportunity here in Crimea, and he has seized it. Earlier this week, Gates told the Washington Post that the GOP lawmakers should tone down their criticism and try to be supportive of the president rather than natter at the president.
