Politics : Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Kerry -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I heard a long time ago that Bush was secretly looking into what it would take to resurrect
the draft because we don't have enough military troops. Bush has been leaning heavily on
the National Guard to fill the spaces in Iraq.

Kerry said that after the election Bush will mobilize the Army Reserve and National Guard
Units. Probably, Bush has no choice because Iraq continues to deteriorate. The
guerillas continue to fight against the United States and there are areas in Iraq
where American troops cannot go. The troops have to patrol those areas by air.

Still, Bush should tell the American people that he will have to call up more troops
for Iraq after the election.

Bush has a backdoor draft, using the Guard as his pawns.
if this continues no one will even want to join the military except rightwing zealots.
