    I agree. However, in fairness to Bush, he had to say somthing because the left keeps on telling everyone that he is ready to start the draft on Nov. 3rd, which he of course is not planning to do and does not want to do, and of course, does not need to do.

    He should have there will be no draft UNLESS World War 3 breaks out.

    There is no doubt in my mind that Bush wants a draft. The fact is he needs a draft to continue his work on behalf of Israel and the Neocons. If there is no draft how can Bush maintain his troop commitments in Iraq and still stay on the offensive in the "War on Terror"? The "Bush Doctrine" screams out the fact that Bush wants a draft. Without diplomacy or a commitment to at least have strong intelligence before attacking this whole pre emptive strike nonsense makes the draft a necessity.

    He does, however, have a plan to add 40,000 more active duty troops. Honest question....has he ever stated what mechanism he will use to add these troops? We've seen over and over that people aren't rushing out to join up....how do you increase the numbers in a military nobody wants to join? I'm surprised the reeps haven't called him on this.

    Im not, because your argument hinges on the assumption that Iraq has hurt military recruitment. It would be in effect cutting off their arm to give Kerry a papercut on the finger.

    That body armor choice is really, really ironic.

    Scare tactics?

    I thought we could put this in the "lie" category.

    I'll leave it open for now, but you'll have to convince me to leave it open for long.

    I know your trap and you're gonna say that..hey...we didn't have to be there in the first place and Kerry was just defending the "right" decision.

    No, I'm going to say there were two versions of the same bill. Kerry was for version #1 and against version #2, and Bush was against version #2 (threatened to veto it, actually) and for version #2.

    Bush was just as much against body armor for the troops as Kerry was.

    Was merged and this reflects the general conversation of draft talk.

    Why do you question everything? ;)

    Oops. :eek:

    I guess you figured it out. Kerry wanted to pay for the body armor, Bush wanted to put it on a credit card. Kerry was against charging it, Bush was against paying for it.
