Will end up on the chopping block. As long as they think it's useful to have DU available to catapult propaganda, it will be here. As soon as they decide "they've had their fun" it will be all over.

The Bush Admin's policy was "We don't give a fuck what you think. Try to stop us."

The Obama Admin's policy is "Shhh....the adults are taking care of it...*WHAM!!!*"
