I could understand the need for a draft if we needed to mobilize millions in a hurry, but how many do you think we're going to need for Iraq, given your prediction of a "dip"? You've posted before that it takes many years to prepare Special Forces, and my impression was that you did not think that draftees are a good pool for Special Forces types. Maybe a better solution would be for the new Iraqi government to institute a draft of their own. An even better solution would be for the Iraqi people to lift a finger towards solving their own problems internally. By which I do NOT mean that we should cut and run. But it IS their country, and they are NOT pulling their weight, at least in the trouble spots.
