there's absolutely adored brought to you by throats
do
outboard and uh... and
uh... was of course the head of the joint chiefs of staff now and press secretary robert
gates winner from the senate and they were time i don't ask don't tell the pentagon study
on it has come out now john mccain had said earlier
uh... look if the
you know the military leaders come and tell me that it's time for peel then uh... we will
do that in fact i've got the exact quote for you so you're not missing about this he said
this in october two thousand six
the big that leadership of the military comes to me a says
senator we ought to change the policy
then i think we ought to consider seriously
changing
well that day
rest so that i got coming in saying
week ought to change the policy
and would be john mccain said
nope
now by it
so apparently was
totally lying in two thousand six
so you went to his bag of excuses first hits at all the studies not out
than the study came out anne showed that seventy percent of the troops don't mind at all if
we repeal don't ask don't tell
as you said although we gotta consider the transit center on the way to the study
military leaders coming to a repeal
basis about all military cohesion
it's really not heard that
well here's how the associated press reported of that challenge uh... and how was received
by admiral mall
make a statement was directly challenged by defense secretary robert gates
an admiral mike mullen the military's top uniformed officer who chairs the joint chiefs
of staff
repealed the law will not prove
unacceptable risk the military readiness
mollen told the senate armed services committee
quote unit cohesion will not supper far units are well lad
and fat families will not encourage their loved ones
to leave the service intro
so in other words
no
you're wrong senator mccain
the military leadership they see wrong
great majority of the military itself thinks you're wrong it's time to repeal
then the cases well yeah apple or the military wars
and this is not a time to change
mollen then says
that in fact congress should act before the courts in the war time
is that ideal time for
because quote
what does not state will change it demands it
it does not make it harder it facilitates
it's a in other words look i'd need those translate is that we kicked out of the army
because they work day
i need back at you describe we need as many hands on deck as we can possibly get
because when they love to warts
so there goes mccain's third or fourth nonsense argument
so then he goes to
uh... you know what
uh... i don't believe your study
he says the only polled twenty eight percent of the military
if you know eighty about polling that is the most absurd thing you could possibly say
polling twenty percent notaries charlie
dante
election has ever been a larger and all
but i've never heard of
do you sense the numbers
they solicited three hundred thousand service members
and they got one hundred and
fifteenth
thousand responses and that one up they also got forty four thousand responses
from the service members spouses
this poem was
tinted
now the thing is you might not know how polling works because you're not in that business
but john mccain's a politician he knows exactly how polling works
best part and parcel i'll be in politics
polls can be perfectly sufficient with well under one percent of the people being polled
and then if you get up
population with twenty eight percent are bold that is possibly the most reliable pointer
i'm really getting your entire life
he knows that
uses run out of excuses
so you just gotta all at collision military leaders to appalling that uh...
why could he doesn't want peace in the military
doesn't matter what the military leaders what does it matter with the troops what it's a
matter what senator mccain wants
it's gotten so bad that even show uh... lieberman
who homes meeting
is on the opposite side of this
as saying
of senator mccain come on the police clearance
if you watch lieberman became
uart
out there on the right
i god made its became a gram at this point basically holding this thing up
you've lost
it's over
in your best case scenario convinced other republicans
to do obstruction instructor for another what six months
another two years
but it's over man you lost the people
you don't like tis you don't want them to serve in the military
but the military's now saying
note we have no problems with people serving with in fact when they ask in this house specific
above the polling got for over the depending on that
when i asked people who nobody answer with date
service members
was a problem
ninety two percent said
no their risk absolutely no problem
and everything was totally fun
john mccain you're not gonna change all their opinions you're not going to get them to hate
gays like you do
too bad
you lost
we're going to have that progress
so you can sit there with your permission although after the
friend without barry
had a
what
the steamroller of history
will roll over here
but today
john mccain continued his obstruction
how much evidence was then
ano matter what he said in two thousand six
which is now doing rectly contradicted
i guess if you're a public health care much about that these days
and we have a new sponsor phyllis uh... they're very cool because they don't get with the
really interesting things going on in your town or anything you might be in the don't
know about right they also let you know where the best restaurants bars venues are
rose that comes lack
delighting
