"On Monday, Bush said he spoke with Gates before his nomination in
November about what is expected in the job.

"I talked to him about two things: one, succeeding in the Middle East;
and, secondly, transforming the military at the same time," Bush told
FOX News' Brit Hume.

"I think that Don Rumsfeld has done remarkable work in transforming
our military. I believe he has got the process far enough down the road and
Bob Gates will be able to continue that," Bush said."


Compare & contrast:

"I talked to him about two things: one, succeeding in the Middle East;
and, secondly, transforming the military at the same time,"

&

"I think that Don Rumsfeld has done remarkable work in transforming
our military."


Note the absence of any comment wrt Rummie & "succeeding in the
Middle East".
