Gates Names West And Clark To Head Ft. Hood Review
WASHINGTON (AP) - Trying to avert another tragedy like the Fort Hood shootings, Defense Secretary Robert Gates named a former Army secretary and former Navy chief to review a broad range of Pentagon programs, ranging from medical and personnel policies to how well military bases are secured.
Army Secretary Togo West and former chief of naval operations Adm. Vernon Clark will head the 45-day review.
“The shootings at Fort Hood raise a number of troubling questions that demand complete but prompt answers,” Gates told a Pentagon news conference. He said the review would seek to ensure the health and safety of military members and their families.
The review will try to find gaps in procedures for identifying service members who could pose threats to others, he said.
It also will assess personnel programs, medical screenings and release and discharge policies, as well as the department’s stateside security programs at bases and other facilities. The military’s ability to respond to incidents with mass casualties will also be considered.

But whatever you do, don’t call terror by its name, or investigate the treason of the CIC. Gates, you are a coward and a party to treason. You are unfit for the office you hold, and any office at all. You are a disgrace to history, and the true men who fought and died across the globe, from our war of independence, to the Global War on Terror. Those men knew (and know) the import of our constitution and what it meant to be free men. They knew the value of honor, dignity and courage. They are true hero’s. You are a coward among cowards, you are acting in concert with the enemy (domestic and otherwise) to deconstruct our constitutional republic and transform it into some quasi-marxist State. You defile the honor of those you are supposed to support and represent. You disgust me.
I wonder how Rummy would have handled this….
TerryTate, I miss ol’Rummy. We need him back!!!!
Gates has become a tool of Obama…he has no credibility anymore, I have lost ALL respect for him.
Thought it was Wesley Clark. That POS already did enough damage to Ft Hood.
Thats what I thought at first too. Makes no difference though. This isn’t a review it is the official cover up.
