Gates Acknowledges Iran Memo
----------------------------



Defense Secretary Robert Gates has acknowledged sending a classified
memo earlier this year that reportedly warned the US lacks a strategy
for dealing with Iran. On Saturday, the New York Times reported Gates
had sent a memo in January that served as a “wake-up call” for the Obama
administration to revisit its Iran strategy. Both Gates and the White
House have acknowledged the memo but say it didn’t spark a major
reassessment.
