10/7 maybe he's lying, but Bush claims no draft while he's president:

\_ there won't be a draft because draftees are useless or have
negative value to the modern US military. it takes a few *years*
to train a new recruit to be useful on the high-tech battlefield.
by the time they managed to draft and train a million slackers,
whatever event they were drafted for would be long over. modern
warfare is so fast now that when war breaks out there is no time
to build up anything. it's a bring-whatcha-got kinda thing now.
thus, the idea that there will be a draft for anything short of
a mass invasion by a foreign nation (which we know can't happen)
is simply daft.
\_ Kerry wants more troops sent in.. so more likelyhood of draft
\_ not necessarily US troops.
\_ not necessarily US troops. likelihood _/
\_ "as long as I am President, there will be no draft" -Dubya, Tuesday
\_ Read... My... Lips.
\_ I believe Dubya says this because he thinks the current Iraq
plan (currently deployed U.S. troops + Iraqi National Guard)
can work. He'll probably say his commanders on the ground said
Samarra was the example of this.
\_ And we can trust everything Bush says, because he is so honest
and straightforward with the American people. Not to mention
having such great judgement.
\_ I think he's a lying sack of shit. I also think he's not
going to restart the draft unless there is a really major
attack on American soil. -op
\_ I want to play devil's advocate: If there is a terror
\_ I want to play devil's advocate: Say there is a terror
attack on American soil that does not do significant damage
to the economy/stock market and business infrastructure,
Dubya may still implement the draft, while a whole lot of
people may think it wasn't a "really major attack" but won't
say anything because they'll be accused of being traitors.
Then we go after Iran even though it was al Qaeda that did it,
because you know, this is the post-9/11 world and if America
shows weakness or uncertainty, the world will drift toward
tragedy. SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP!
How do we like dem apples?
\_ Do you buy your tinfoil hat off the rack or do you get
them custom made?
\_ Homemade from only the finest heavy-duty Alcoa foil.
\_ How _much_ do you think this differs from what happened
with Iraq, justification 9/11? Except I can definitely
say Iran is a much greater threat today, than Iraq to
U.S. national security before we invaded.
\_ The rest of us carry state information. Perhaps
you don't.
\_ I make a solid devil's advocate case.
I can't say much for what you provided.
\_ If you're making a devil's advocate claim,
then the question of tinfoil hat is justified.
\_ So says you without any meaningful
indication of why, even after three posts.
\_ Yup, just like when he said he wouldn't do any nation building.
\_ I'm a uniter, not a divider.
We must be humble.
\_ We mut have a strong but humble foreign policy. |
