BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Many U.S. troops in Iraq were overjoyed to see President Barack Obama take his oath, but some were unhappy about one thing the Democrat has promised to do: permit gay and lesbian soldiers to serve openly.
Obama said during his campaign he opposed a 1993 law stating that homosexuals are not eligible to work in the U.S. military, widely referred to as the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule.
This month, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs, when asked whether the new administration planned to scrap the law, replied on the president's transition website: "You don't hear politicians give a one-word answer much. But it's 'yes'."

I thought the MSM defined ‘some’ as 3-9.
And that anything over 10 was ‘many’...
God's sake, please don't leave the military because of this buffoon! To do so is to turn that fine institution over to the hard-left social engineers.
Why don't you join then? After going through absolute hell (voluntarily) in Iraq, leaving families behind.... for what? So some sodomite can trash morale by opening the gates, code pink can sit in the seats of honor at an inauguration, for the first time in 56 years the Hereos Inauguration Ball is snubbed, terrorists (yeah you know those that killed our brothers) are to be released from prison, and instead of the agreed upon SOFA its cut and run time in Iraq (and piss on those that died for the cause of liberty).....
the other 52% of this country can kiss my white @SS!
well this is no surprise is it
I know a guy round the corner waiting to be deployed and has said he will not reenlist.
I have spoken to a few ex military friends who I served with and no one is happy and my sons will not join if this policy gets put in
maybe if he wasn’t so egotistical he would talk to the generals insteead of homo special interest groups.
homo’s open in the military
homo’s to have more access to kids
homo’s to get married by way of throwing out state laws and overriding DOMA
Yep we know his special agenda and it is not for America or for the military
after all he didn’t get to the military ball but he did get to see kayne west at the MTV ball.
I can’t believe this but Clinton would have been better than this buffoon
he is out to destroy the military and then he can being in his civilian security force he talked about and got cheers from the crowd.
Lincoln was in a war and phony here likes to think he is Lincoln.
will history repeat itself but instead of north v south it could be right v left
he will throw the 1st amendment away
then take away our guns
the military will be in tatters
then his new civilian security force comes into play.
Now wouldn’t you think there would be one journalist out there who is curious about what this civilian security force is and why does he fight so hard to not show his birth certificate?
there was something about it not too long ago
every race and gender went against obama except one and that were blacks in the military who were voting for him.
All women, whites, Hispanics, Asian men wanted Mccain in big numbers
blacks wanted obama in big numbers
can you imagine telling some marines this is how to kill when you shoot
when to stab
this is how to fight and bomb
then this afternoon we will have sensitivity training as many homo’s feel they are not welcome
what a pathetic man this phony is
if he wants homo’s to be open then have them in his civilian security force he will have i.e. the brown shirts
exactly these ideas are his commie views and agenda.
He is out to ruin this military and then get in his own civilian security force
He is not interested in foreign policy as his first day shows but more interested in homo’s.
Obama is not in charge of this country right now, George soros is , obama is the puppet and the likes of ACORN , move on etc are the troops to stop dissent
I can guarantee that it's most, not some!!!
The Messiah would alienate much of that 32% by doing this.
However, I think they have "other plans" for the military, as indicated in my post #35.
What’s Obama’s policy on flashers and Peeping Toms?
OBITUARY: On January 20, 2009 the United States succumbed to the self-inflicted gunshot wound of November 4, 2008. RIP.
Correct! The report should read that nearly ALL the troops oppose Obama and 99% OPPOSE a lift on the gay ban.
Only if the queers (filthy disease ridden) have their own barracks and are sent in first as ground troops to take out Iran. Then I am just fine with it.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
I got your six anyway. My back bumps into yours, that means they’re 3ft away.
Yes, how absolutely ironic, isn't it?
I watched a little of the festivities in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and I swear I thought I saw the magnificent Statue inside throw up in it's mouth a little.
Obama may revoke “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” but does Congress plan to change the UCMJ?
“Some” troops unhappy??? Some??? Well, they might not say anything outloud...but expect to see a lot more “Code Red” commands given secretly.
do I get a prize, like keep my gun .
Soros bought himself a country the most powerful country in the world.
obama is on the strings
ACORN move on will be the troops to silence opposition by using PC and other devices like shutting them down.
sad and I bet the founding fathers didn’t want this at all.
