Don’t ask about “don’t ask don’t tell”

Is anyone really surprised about this:
They said Obama, who pledged during the campaign to overturn the law, does not want to ask lawmakers to do so until the military has completed a comprehensive assessment of the impact that such a move would have on military discipline. Then, the president hopes to be able to make a case to members of both parties that overturning the 1993 law would be in the best interest of national security.
After all nobody who has advocated repeal has studied this for 15 years. This is so phony but not as phony as the issue itself. With control of congress the Democrats could have repealed this two years ago if they choose, but they were afraid of the elections and they and colleges loved the issue as a club to use against ROTC. Via Glenn and yes the lack of speed is deliberate.
Since thousands have found me for the first time in the last 24 hours (thanks Glenn) one point to mention concerning my remote tech services.
All of them are currently offered on eBay via the link to the right. You can save a few buck by using that link if you end up winning the bid. Full descriptions of what and how I do things are listed there. I’ll be putting up posts explaining them off and on over the next few weeks.
Last week I was working on a customer’s system and was showing them on of the most useful sites on the net. www.sysinfo.org.
You can use sysinfo to look up items in MSCONFIG and determine if there are items that you don’t need. Even more importantly these days it can tell you if the item with the right sounding name is the real thing or no.
A lot of virus’ put items in your MSCONFIG that have identical or near identical names to legit apps (ccApp comes to mind). It will give you the hints to tell you if you have the real thing or no.
This remains one of the 10 most useful sites on the web. Bookmark and use it.
