At this rate we should see an end to DADT in about ohh several years. Congress wants to keep doing more studies that prove that ending DADT will not hurt our military even though the Sec General of the Army said it will not. Not to mention these studies have already been done. This is what we get for having Congress take the lead. Obama gave us another empty promise and it really looks like I will not be supporting him in his campaign bid for 2012.

Here is some information that was released by the Associated Press:

The Defense Department starts the clock next week on what is expected to be a several-year process in lifting its ban on gays from serving openly in the military.

A special investigation into how the ban can be repealed without hurting the morale or readiness of the troops was expected to be announced Tuesday by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

While the review is likely to take the better part of this year to complete, and even more time to implement, its initiation will advance President Barack Obama's goal of repealing the ban and bring a divisive issue for the military back to the fore.

At the White House, officials continued reviewing options to repeal the Clinton-era policy that the president vowed to repeal. The administration still believes that any repeal should start in Congress and have the backing of top military leaders.

From what I have seen this has already received approval from some of our top military leaders. So did the freeze of firing people for DADT stand? Who knows. Obama is letting Congress take this over just like the health care reform bill that has been stalled due to bi partisian bickering. This is a time that we need to keep on our Congress Reps and Senators saying we were not wanting a bone tossed to us but results! Lets keep on them.
