United States Conscription

Poll question: United States Conscription

How likely is it?

[jpgray]

1. Very likely under a lame duck Bush

Very unlikely under a first term Kerry.

[whistle]

2. It is very likely because Bush says he won't install a military draft...

...and that bastard lies everytime he opens his mouth

[ugarte]

3. Edwards said no draft under Kerry

I take him at his word.

[GreenArrow]

4. not conscription...

mandatory volunteer service.

5. Highly unlikely

America will retreat before it will allow a draft.

This is now a plurality war. They can't shove a draft down the throats of the nation.

7. Why don't you think they could?

These days I sincerely wonder if there is *anything* they could not shove down our throats. I'm still shocked we swallowed the Iraq war.

6. They're running out of other options.

If Bush or Kerry try to stick it out in Iraq they will have to have troops, a lot more troops, and they aren't available. Despite all the flag waving and the thinly veiled attempts at buying more volunteers the young people aren't lining up to get shot at in Iraq.

The BS by both candidates about getting surrogates (aka "allies") is just that, BS. Even the "allies" that are there are trying to find a way out.

It's get out of Iraq or look for those nice letters saying "Greetings".
