Apr 4 2009, 11:24 AM ET

Tom Ricks thinks so:

There is growing belief on the right that President Obama will use him for political cover to slash weapons programs and the defense budget...My bet is that Gates will stay on until about this time next year, and leave when the QDR (Quadrennial Defense Review) is done. By then, I predict, Republicans will be crying, "Bobby, we hardly knew ye."
