Waiting Until 2012?

From HRC's blog:

[T]he Associated Press reported on a leaked legal opinion from lawyers at the Pentagon suggesting that any repeal of DADT be delayed until at least 2012.  The AP story did point out that Admiral Mullen has also received conflicting advice and that this opinion did not necessarily reflect his advice to the Secretary or White House.  We’ve always known that we would face at least some opposition from individuals at the Pentagon and this leaked memo reflects that reality.  Leaking information is not unheard of in Washington, but given the internal deliberations that are underway, it seems like Secretary Gates and Admiral Mullen would be running a tighter ship.

It will not happen in Obama's first term.
