‘In the Obama Administration, in fact, we probably agreed on almost everything except Afghanistan’

EXCERPT:

DICKERSON: "Could you do the job of being president at this age?"

GATES: "(Laughs) Well, I’m getting encouraged so far. I didn’t think so a year or two ago. But so far, so good."

DICKERSON: "You mean you're encouraged by Joe Biden’s ability to handle the job?"

GATES: "Yeah."
