Sen. Flake's extraordinarily bad timing and form

Re Gates book. Extraordinarily bad timing, and form, if you ask me.

Did you ask the junior senator from Arizona about the timing of the release of Robert Gates's book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War? When is a good time to tell the country its president sent men to die in a war he didn't believe in? Like any memoir, Duty reflects the author's point of view not the sterile verbiage one reads in White House and Pentagon press releases. If Gates is to be faulted it is for not telling us sooner. What should we expect from someone everybody calls flake?
