I wish only those who vote for Dumbya will see their children getting the draft next year, which is almost a certainty if he gets another term.

Its amazing how out of control the situation is and yet his moron supporters think he is doing a good job!

I wonder what they think a bad job is.....full employment, balanced budget, low unemployment, diminishing deficits, strong allies, wars that aren't quagmires, etc?! <g>

Draft Fears Fueled by Inaccurate E-mails

A scare story spreads electronically, but it gets facts wrong.

Summary

Several FactCheck subscribers have asked about an e-mailed rumor that is causing a lot of anxiety. It claims that steps are being taken to resume military conscription next year. But the message abounds with misinformation and half-truths. And some experts say conscription is the last thing the military wants or needs, despite being stretched thin in Iraq.
