The Pentagon did NOT say it wanted a draft, though. It said it planned on sending more troops to Iraq next year. It already has those troops signed up. Pentagon sending thousands more troops to Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — Several thousand additional Marines will go to Iraq next year, the Pentagon said Wednesday in an update that indicated the total U.S. force won't be reduced as much as planned. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld also approved the mobilization of 9,900 Army, 1,290 Navy and 3,208 Air Force reserve personnel for the rotation, which will begin in January to replace the 130,000 troops who will be completing one-year tours of duty in Iraq. Rumsfeld also put on alert 4,228 Army, 1,290 Navy and 2,381 Air Force reservists, to let them know they may be mobilized for duty in Iraq. The specific units alerted and mobilized Wednesday were not disclosed; the Pentagon says they can expect to be on active duty for up to 18 months. usatoday.com What you have to deal with is that the ONLY bill placed before Congress for a draft was authored by Rep. Rangel- -a Democrat. And a clear move to create problems for the Administration. Now the Democrats are using the fact that that bill is in the hopper to fuel the rumor mill- -even though one of theirs put it there. Dirty, deceptive politics at its worst. Maybe you should see what mileage you can get from this: story.news.yahoo.com Although I don't remember a price ever being put forth up front on any war any country has ever gotten into.
