After recently admitting the U.S. is
losing the war in Iraq.. Robert

Gates officially begins the ominous
task of turning that around. At a

private White House event this morning,
the former CIA director was

sworn-in as Defense Secretary. Later,
he moves on to the Pentagon for a

public ceremony.

(natz Iraq)

Gates takes over at a very volatile
time in Iraq. The Bush

administration is in the process of
revamping its strategy there�and the

President says he�ll wait for input

from Gates before he makes any

policy announcements.

(Sirgany Bridge/Washington DC)

By choosing Gates, the President picked
a man with many admirers�.he

sailed through Senate confirmation
hearings and pledged to speak

candidly to both the President and
Congress about what he thinks needs

to be done.

another person with ideas about what
needs to be done in Iraq is former

Secretary of State and former Chairman
of the joints chiefs of

Staff�Colin Powell. He says THE
ANSWER ISN'T MORE U-S FORCES BUT

HANDING OVER MORE RESPONSIBILITY to
Iraqi forces.

Sot: Colin Powell/Former Secretary of
State

"I am not persuaded that another surge
of troops into Baghdad for the

purposes of suppressing this
communitarian violence, this civil war,

will work."

Powell agrees with Gates that the U-S
is losing but says we haven�t

lost. So far the new Pentagon chief
has not indicated what changes are

in store for his department. He does
plan to visit Iraq, quote, �very

soon� to get a firsthand look at the
situation there.
