A BIG SALUTE
A Platoon of Lesbians
A big salute of Rep. Gary Ackerman, of New York City suggested that the Bush administration may fear a platoon of lesbians more than terrorists. Allow me to quote from the Associated Press Article for you...
Associate Press for February 8, 2007
"WASHINGTON - a New York congressmean on Wednesday jokingly suggested the Bush adminstration may fear a "platoon of lesbians" more than terrorists in Baghdad, given the military's resistance to letting homosexuals openly serve.
Rep. Gary Ackerman's criticisim of Pentagon policy came as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Ackerman, a New York City Democrat, complained to Rice the military had fired Arabic and Farsi translators after learning the translators were homosexuals.
"For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists. They're very brave with the terrorists, and if the terrorists eer got ahold of this information, they get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad," said Ackerman prompting laughter."
"A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding." - Marshall Mcluhan
