Le secrétaire à la défense Robert Gates devient un cas important de possible contestation au sein de l’administration Obama. Il avait été maintenu à son poste (où il se trouve depuis novembre 2006) avec la réputation flatteuse d’une continuité modérée de la politique du Pentagone sous GW Bush, nuancée encore plus dans le sens de la modération par une attitude politique qui lui avait fait effectivement tenir un rôle de modérateur décisif de la “politique de l’idéologie et de l’instinct” marquant la période triomphante de l’époque Bush (de 9/11 à novembre 2006).
