Pentagon ex-head Gates criticises Obama&aposs Afghan tactics
Former US Secretary of Dense Robert Gates has strongly criticised President Barack Obama&aposs handling of the war in Afghanistan, US media have reported.
In Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary of War, Mr Gates says that the president was sceptical that his administration&aposs Afghan strategy would succeed.
"I never doubted [his] support for the troops, only his support for their mission," Mr Gates is quoted as saying.
Mr Gates was Pentagon chi under Presidents Obama and George Bush. He was the first Pentagon head to serve presidents of different parties bore leaving political office in 2011.
Although he describes Mr Obama as "a man of personal integrity" who was right in his decisions regarding Afghanistan, he says that the president was uncomfortable with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which he inherited from the Bush administration.
He also says Mr Obama was distrustful of the military that was providing him options.
He is quoted by newspapers as saying in the memoir that in March 2011 he did not trust Gen David Petraeus - the US military commander in Afghanistan in 2010-11 - and "could not stand" Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The president "doesn&apost consider the war to be his," Mr Gates writes of a March 2011 meeting in the White House. "For him, it&aposs all about getting out."
The Washington Post says that the memoir is "in contrast to his subdued, even-keeled public demeanour as Pentagon chi", and that Mr Gates "strikes an often bitter tone in his memoir".
It and other newspapers quote the former dence secretary voicing frustration in the memoir at the "controlling nature" of Mr Obama&aposs White House, which he says constantly interfered in Pentagon affairs, even though civilian aides lacked knowledge of military operations.
The White House national security staff "took micromanagement and operational meddling to a new level," he writes, comparing their approach to that of the Nixon era of the 1970s.
"All too early in the administration," Mr Gates writes, "suspicion and distrust of senior military officers by senior White House officials - including the president and vice president - became a big problem for me as I tried to manage the relationship between the commander-in-chi and his military leaders."
據(jù)美國《華盛頓郵報(bào)》1月8日?qǐng)?bào)道,美國前國防部長羅伯特?蓋茨猛烈抨擊美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬處理阿富汗戰(zhàn)爭的方式。
在《職責(zé):戰(zhàn)爭部長回憶錄》一書中,蓋茨稱奧巴馬懷疑美國政府的阿富汗政策是否能夠取得成功。
“我從不懷疑他對(duì)軍隊(duì)的支持,只是懷疑他對(duì)這項(xiàng)任務(wù)是否足夠支持,”蓋茨這樣說道。
他曾在奧巴馬和布什的任期內(nèi)擔(dān)任國防部長,2011年離任,他也是首位在民主黨和共和黨總統(tǒng)執(zhí)政期間均能入主五角大樓的國防部長。
蓋茨認(rèn)為奧巴馬是“一個(gè)正直的人”,在阿富汗問題上的觀點(diǎn)是正確的,但他也稱,奧巴馬很不情愿地從布什政府手中接管伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭和阿富汗戰(zhàn)爭。
報(bào)紙引述回憶錄稱,奧巴馬2011年并不信任美國駐阿富汗司令戴維?彼得雷烏斯,且“不能忍受”阿富汗總統(tǒng)卡爾扎伊。
蓋茨在回憶錄中寫道2011年3月份的一次會(huì)議時(shí)表示,奧巴馬“并不認(rèn)為這場戰(zhàn)爭跟自己有關(guān),他關(guān)心的只有撤軍”。
《華盛頓郵報(bào)》評(píng)論說,蓋茨在回憶錄中措辭強(qiáng)硬,“一反他作為國防部長被壓制的公眾形象”。
蓋茨表示,奧巴馬的“控制欲”很強(qiáng)。雖然白宮文官缺乏軍事知識(shí),但是經(jīng)常插手國防事務(wù)。
蓋茨認(rèn)為,和20世紀(jì)70年代的尼克松政府相比,奧巴馬手下的“白宮國家安全部門越來越多地插手具體管理和軍隊(duì)運(yùn)行。”
“在管理過程中,”蓋茨寫道,“雖然我試圖緩解高級(jí)軍官和他的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)之間的關(guān)系,但是白宮高官——包括總統(tǒng)和副總統(tǒng),對(duì)于高級(jí)軍官的懷疑和不信任已經(jīng)成為了我的一個(gè)難題?!?/p>
