Oh, believe me, politicians have another favorite game. They say stuff that will get their opponets in trouble with the easily swayed masses. Bush, Rumsfeld, etc., have said that no draft is needed. But, nah, we can't trust the guys in charge of the war. Let's instead trust what a few fringe democrats are saying, because they have no external motive whatsoever and also happen to be privy to what the generals are saying they need.
The whole idea of a draft seems pretty ridicilous to me. We're handing over power pretty soon. We're training Iraqis at a quick rate. Our whole plan is in getting an Iraqi face in the battle (and on our side, at that!). Think about what a draft means -- it would take some time to get through congress, it would take some time to send the new recruits through boot camp, plus special training for urban warfare ... not to mention that the issue likely wouldn't come up until after the election, meaing, what's the point of sending in so many more Americans so many months down the road, especially when that's just the time we want Iraqis to begin taking care of themselves? New troops without experience, lacking much of the training of those there now, and, most notably, Americans, more than a few of which don't want to be there -- does that sound like it would somehow improve the situation? When working in politics, look at the source of the information, look for external motives ... and think through the issue. Why? Well,

I'll tell you. They do the stuff that they need to later deny. That's what.
