CNN: Mullen delivers repeal opponent Marine commandant Amos a DADT smackdown

This is hilarious, because Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen deftly delivered a kick to the posterior of obstinant Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos today on CNN's State of the Union.

Amos, who has publicly decried that repeal of DADT would apparently jeopardize the mental stability of male service members ("young men - laying out, sleeping alongside of one another) was put into place by Mullen asserting that Amos, of all people, would be more than up to the task of implemtenting repeal. Watch it (via The Wonk Room):

MULLEN: I don't think there is any question he can. In fact, I've spoken to him as recently as last week and he recounted a town hall that he had on the east coast recently and he was very clear and very public to his Marines and he basically said that if this law changes we are going to implement it and we are going to implement it better than anybody else. So I have great confidence in him that if it gets to the change in the law, that the Marine Corps will implement it as he's described.
