Reuters reports that the U.S. Marine Corps continue to deny that Josh Gracin, one of the nine remaining finalists on American Idol, is being given any special treatment by remaining stateside during the current American-led war against Iraq.

However, the likelihood of Josh shipping out is probably about the same as the likelihood of Saddam Hussein winning Survivor: Baghdad. The spokesperson also noted that "we consider he is doing a really good job representing the Marine Corps on the show." Therefore, Josh probably doesn't need to worry about his orders to Iraq coming through any sooner than, say, the day after he gets booted. As they say, sometimes Mom knows best.
