He bristled when a reporter suggested that he had given the military a "blank check," saying directly that there was no such thing. He also gave a lengthy explanation of his support of U.S. Army Gen. George Casey to be Chief of Staff of the Army - despite opposition from the likes of Republican Senator John McCain - topping it with the implicit gibe that Casey was the "first choice of the professional military." Gates, a former Sovietologist, might fit the same description that Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko once made...
