Bush says Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a "good policy"

I don't expect much from President Bush, I really don't. But I think what I'd like is for him to say just ONE reasonable or decent thing about ANYTHING before he leaves office.
During yesterday's Rose Garden press conference, the president was asked how he feels about the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and whether or not he agrees with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Peter Pace in his belief that homosexuality is immoral.
Replied Bush: "I will not be rendering judgment about individual orientation...I do believe the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy is good policy."
This led to the Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese issuing the following statement:
"President Bush defending 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell' as a 'good' policy completely ignores the negative reality this policy is having on our national security. The President’s comments today are a slap in the face to the thousands of patriotic gay and lesbian service members who are currently on active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. If this White House is so concerned about the morale of our troops, then why would they publicly support discriminating against thousands of them currently serving on the front lines?"
I'm glad to see the HRC reply quickly and strongly to all comments regarding this anti-gay policy that threatens the careers of good military personnel.
