From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 2/10/2007 1:29 AM Gates prepares for a large-scale war with Iran, North Korea, China and Russia
US Defense Minister Robert Gates called for increasing US army in order to be ready for a large-scale operation. North Korea, Iran, Russia and China are listed among potential enemies.
“We don't know what's going to develop in places like Russia and China, in North Korea, in Iran and elsewhere,” the Pentagon head said at US Senate Armed Services Committee hearings. He supported increasing military expenditures, as it will allow increasing the number of “free detachments.”
The statements seemingly shocked Americans. The current Pentagon head, who worked for the CIA almost 30 years, was considered to be quite a pragmatic person, who apparently was quite sober about the relations with Russia. Quite recently he was speculating on about necessity and usefulness of restoring the bygone Russian authority, Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper (Russia) says.
Meanwhile, Mayak Radio believes that it does not necessarily mean that the Pentagon chief called directly for preparing to a war with Russia. Gates meant that Americans should get ready not only to fighting terrorism, but to large-scale military operations with mass regular armies like Chinese or Russian ones.
