Secret 6-page Proposal to DRAFT Women and Men under 34 for SKILLS!

[Dems Will Win]

It turns out that the SSS has presented a secret 6-page proposal to the Pentagon and given to the Congress that calls for the creation of a “Skills Draft”, conscripting men and women up to age 34 for non-combat jobs such as linguist, computer specialist or engineer—the first three occupations the DoD has already identified as being in short supply. Modeled after the Medical Draft, the secret document was obtained only through the FOI Act by a reporter from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Flahavan said the agency has begun designing procedures for a targeted registration and draft of people with computer and language skills, in case military officials and Congress authorize it.

Some of the skill areas where the armed forces are facing "critical shortages" include linguists and computer specialists, the agency said. Americans would then be required to regularly update the agency on their skills until they reach age 35.

Individuals proficient in more than one critical skill would list the skill in which they have the greatest degree of competency.

If this is created after Bush’s re-election, DoD could theoretically ask for hundreds of different occupations to be drafted. The SSS, right this very minute is designing procedures and a massive database that would track everyone who had special skills—including their entire skill set and most important, their address.

Why would Bush need such a large draft? The answer lies in the secret plan that Wesley Clark revealed in his book Winning Modern Wars: Iraq, Terrorism, and the American Empire:

“I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, and one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan. So, I thought, this is what they mean when they talk about ‘draining the swamp.’"

Assuming Libya is now off the list, according to Clark Bush and the neo-cons plan to invade 5 more countries! That need does not include trying to defeat the insurgents solely with the U.S. military as a re-elected Bush might attempt. Bush moreover is building 14 permanent bases and huge intelligence centers in Iraq and has no intention of ever leaving that oil to the Russians or even worse, the French.

The major media are not talking about any of these things, nor do they cover hardly anything that John Kerry says, especially if it is about the draft. So you would never know it, but John Kerry has a No-Draft Plan, a plan to strengthen the military in key areas yet draw down U.S. troop levels in Iraq by internationalizing the situation and then getting out as soon as possible.

Here are the five main points of Kerry’s No-Draft Plan:

1. Move some paper-pushers to combat (lots of potential there)

2. Increase enlistment with real scholarships, benefits and pay raises

3. Let troops know Special Ops will hunt al-Queda, no more invasions needed, so re-up rate goes up. "Primarily a law enforcement effort, not a full military effort", said John Kerry on Meet The Press.

4. Start a "Civilian Stability Corps" that would help in reconstructing Afghanistan and Iraq and relieve military pressure.

5. GET FOREIGN TROOPS TO COME INTO INSTEAD OF LEAVE IRAQ.

Here Kerry calls for a Civilian Stability Corps, made up of volunteers:

"...I propose that we enlist thousands of them in a Civilian Stability Corps, a reserve organization of volunteers ready to help win the peace in troubled places. Like military reservists, they will have peacetime jobs; but in times of national need, they will be called into service to restore roads, renovate schools, open hospitals, repair power systems, draft a constitution, or build a police force. A Civilian Stability Corps can bring the best of America to the worst of the world—and reduce pressure on the military."

In April, on a conference call with 130 College Newspaper Editors, Kerry said “No Draft”, that he would have a sensible foreign policy that would not require reinstatement. And in June, Kerry told a Wisconsin high school that if he is elected a draft would be "absolutely unnecessary".

BUSH '04 = DRAFT '05
KERRY'04 = PNAC OUT THE DOOR!

1. Thank Goddess I'm 42

As for #5 of your kerry no draft plan, where's he going to get the foreign troops? Iran may volunteer, but I don't see Europe sending any more than they have.

2. The question is

are you more confident with Kerry trying to negotiate with other countries for us, or with Bush?


Can Kerry get the job done? I hope so.

Can Bush get the job done? We know the answer is no.

4. That's because they know Bush is stealing the Iraqi oil $$

and he won't even sell the French or Germans any oil! And Bush lied on the reconstruction contracts. They are pissed!

Kerry even looks French and when he asks the French in French for French troops AND first turns the Iraqi oil $$ back to Iraq, they will give some.

THe truth is Bush doesn't want to win this war, he's just trying to inflame the Mideast so they attack us in the US and he can get re-elected, start the DRAFT and then invade the countries that are left on the list.

Kerry has said he will use diplomacy and if that does not work, Special Ops. So you don't need a lot more troops--you need diplomatic skills and smarts and real nation-building and real reconstruction--instead of the biggest bank robbery in the history of the world.

5. Remember Algiers, 1957?

The French do and Iraq is acclerating faster than Algiers towards revolution.

Bribing the French to send in their troops will spark anti-war protests against Chirac. Can he afford that?

The Spanish PM has already given the "finger" to Kerry and Putin has said that he's not sending any troops no matter who is the US President.

Kerry, should he be elected, will most likely be the Prez who tells the last man that he died for a mistake, one made by both Bush and Kerry.
