Pentagon slow-walking DADT repeal. Will be 'several year process'

Over the past couple days, we've seen conflicting signals about whether Don't Ask, Don't Tell will be repealed "this year" as Obama led us to believe in the State of the Union.

The day after Obama's speech, Eugene Robinson stated on MSNBC that a White House official told him the repeal probably would not happen this year.

Via a report from the Associated Press, we learned today that the Pentagon thinks the repeal will be a "several-year process." Even worse, the Pentagon is going to do another study (a "special investigation") on this issue.

Obama promised to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. He's the Commander-in-Chief. He tells the Pentagon to do it faster and stop delaying the process. And, it's a very bad idea to leave the details to Congress.

Yesterday, Obama showed real leadership when he faced down the House GOP caucus. He needs to be that leader across the board. And, the repeal of DADT is one issue that is demanding it. Remember, "It's the right thing to do":

Don't forget, until it's done: Don't Ask, Don't Give.
