4. I don't think that this is the worst pick,
If Gates only stays a year then that's fine.

I haven't had the issues with Gates as many here have. From the things I've read he seems to have a good handle of the Department of Defense.

Some of the things that I think are in his favor relate to his positions taken while he was on the Iraq Study Group, and his closeness to Brent Scowcroft. If I'm not mistaken, I believe I've seen where P-E Obama does hold Scowcroft in some regard.
