投資や経済には、関係ありませんが、かんべえ先生がブログで取り上げていたロバート・ゲーツ国防長官の発言を、Timeのホームページで見つけました。
"In the intelligence business, when you smell the flowers, you look around for the coffin." — June 20, 2008, at the retirement ceremony for Air Force General and CIA chief Michael Hayden
"Y'all took 10 years off my life, years I can't afford. I expect it'll be another great game, and I think I'll stay away in a safe place, like Baghdad."— April 22, 2008, at West Point, N.Y., when Army played Texas A&M, where Gates was president before coming to the Pentagon
"With Bono visiting the other day, I thought U2 was a plane."— Jan. 25, 2008, before a military gathering in Washington
これだけのジョークが言えるとは、なかなか、頭の良い人ですが、経済閣僚では無いのが残念です。
