In a 24-0 vote the Armed Services Committee immediately confirmed him after he conclusively proved he is not now nor has he ever been Donald Rumsfeld. When asked by the Committee if the United States is winning the war in Iraq, Gates answered "no." But he also said we are not losing the war in Iraq. So if we are not losing and we are not winning, we must be tying the war in Iraq, and since there are no ties in war, it stands to reason there is no war in Iraq. Mission Accomplished.
