MELBOURNE, Australia – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Congress should act quickly, before new members take their seats, to repeal the military's ban on gays serving openly in the military.
He, however, did not sound optimistic that the current Congress would use a brief postelection session to get rid of the law known as "don't ask, don't tell."
"I would like to see the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" but I'm not sure what the prospects for that are," Gates said Saturday, as he traveled to defense and diplomatic meetings in Australia.
Unless the lame-duck Congress acts, the repeal effort is considered dead for now.

You’re a busy little troll catcher today!
WAW = Zot
Lone Red Ranger = Not Zot (yet)
WAW was escorted from the building - just checked, but Little Red Riding Hood is still present.
Not yet.
There’s a bunch with a death wish on this thread, though:

lolol
There sure are.
The Comedian - Hemingway’s Ghost - and others...
I’ve been a part of that thread since it first begun over two weeks ago.
I so wish Jim Rob would clean house with all the liberals that infest this place.
A good ol’ Bugzapper Thread would surely do the job
Nice work re: the WAW troll.
He should have kept on lurking, instead he surfaced with his libertarian and anti-conservative views. Oops, Zot...
Wagglebee’s threads are troll magnets.
Libertarians and leftists love the homosexual agenda and moral aboslutes - it’s elementary!
Ha, isn’t that true. Must be the topics. :-)
That and common sense values that cause trolls to dissent and get all hot and bothered...
lolol
we'll dedicate it to you.
PS thanks for the ping.
I know there are ways to find that out. I just don’t know how to find that out.
The mods know - and if they want to - they can do that.
I’m sure there’s a reason why I was included in the recipient’s list of the following ruckus...
I’ve been on here a long time and none of the people who know me have ever suggested that I’m not a conservative. As a matter of fact, even the people on the anti-FReeper sites have never suggested that I’m not a conservative.
But something strikes me as odd, you seem surprised by what I’m saying, yet you claim to have lurked here for years. Are you telling me that you were unfamiliar with the fact that I dislike those who dismiss social conservatism? I’m not exactly an unknown entity on here.
I did not use the “it’s happening anyway” argument. Its stupid and I condemn it roundly when I see it.
Then why have you repeatedly made reference to the fact that there were probably homosexuals in Washington’s army?
And if I remember correctly, you started the name calling...You made it personal.
No, I suggested that you might be a retread troll, NOTHING I have seen since has caused me to alter that opinion.
My suggestion...Don’t drink when you do this. Apparently, you’re an angry drunk and it’s unbecoming.
First of all, I haven’t had anything to drink in twenty years.
Secondly, I’m not angry.
Finally, if you think I give a damn what you think of me you couldn’t possibly be more wrong.
Thanks for letting me know!
Always makes my day a little brighter when trolls get zotted.
Oops - they love the homosexual agenda and HATE moral absolutes...
Wonder if they really were the same person. There was something going on. One post this year and he shows up to defend his “friend”? Yeah.
