That seems like a strained interpretation to me. In my experience, when people say "America", they mean the United States. When Secretary Gates's comment is taken in context, it's clear that he is using "America" to mean the same thing as the "United States." If some other meaning was intended, then Obama's comments about America sometimes being arrogant would make no sense.
