Joe Biden Cant Take The Criticism Any Longer, Lashes Out In his memoir, Duty, former defense secretary Robert Gates criticizes a series of politicians, ranging from Vice President Joe Biden to Hillary Clinton. He is particularly harsh on Biden, however, making the claim that he has been wrong on every decision he has made regarding national security and foreign policy. Biden is not taking the criticism lightly, and has started firing back at Gates, claiming that he has been wrong about all of the decisions related to foreign policy. He has criticized Gates views on Mikhail Gorbachev to his views on the Vietnam War. And he has challenged the authorclaiming he cannot wait to debate him. Although mentioned to a lesser degree, there was some information about Hillary Clinton in the book as well that could damage her campaign if she decides to run in the 2016 campaign. Gates did have a few positive things to say about Hillary however, claiming that she is idealistic and tough-minded. David Brock, founder of Media Matters, a left-wing outlet, claims that Gates has criticized nearly everyone he has worked with. What do you think? Do you agree with Gates assessment?
