• Gen. Douglas Lute, war czar/Bush scapegoat, says of course the draft is on the table:
You know, that’s a national policy decision point that we have not yet reached…I think it makes sense to certainly consider it, and I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table…• Cheney called it Kerry waffling three years ago:

Charles B. Rangel introduce a bill in February, 2006 to reinstitute the draft? I'll bet they know something we don't! You can track its progress here. As soon as the Subcommittee on Military Personnel signs off, Selective Service can deliver 100,000 inductees in the first 30 days—and this time, everyone aged 18-42 is eligible.
