The president capped off his week presenting departing Robert Gates with a Medal of Freedom for his tenure as defense secretary. In his remarks, Obama trumped what he saw as the accomplishments of the last two years, but “[t]o hear the White House version of the world today, “Rosy Scenario” should be the next Secretary of Defense. In the past few days, we’ve heard that Al Qaeda is on the ropes; the war in Afghanistan has been won; Qaddafi’s days are number (stop bothering about Libya); the Arab Spring is over; and Iraq is done. On top of that, China, Iran, North Korea and Russia can’t be anything to worry about, because the White House hardly registers any concerns.”
