After reading the following I found myself asking - "I wonder how long after suggesting this would Bush be hung out to dry?"
The new chairman of a US House of Representatives committee wants to reinstate the military draft.
New York Democrat Charles Rangel says his plan to have Americans sign up for a military draft after turning 18 would deter politicians from launching wars.
Rangel says the US President would never have invaded Iraq if the United States had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought their kids would be placed in harm's way.
In 2003, Rangel proposed a measure covering people aged 18 to 26.
Yes I do understand where the chairman is coming from but still, Bush never said he would reinstate the draft but yet every Democrat under the sun used that line to further their agenda during the 04 elections which of course didn't hold any water. Now by using this "method" wouldn't this be a form of reverse psychology. Place the draft and there will be no more wars, or is this just a quick reach around to calm the current issue. If in-fact this does happen and many men and women get drafted would they be able to retract if anything is to happen here - tragically speaking?

Personally Rangel isn't someone I'm impressed with. He's one of the ones involved with screwing Hackett over.
He's doing this to try to make the war an issue by trying to bring up the Draft. Reverse psychology is too kind of a phrase, I'd call it reverse stupidity.
