"President Bush should tell us now whether he supports a military draft."

Bush has repeatedly said he opposes a draft, and he reiterated that position as recently as last week. It's mainly been Chuck Rangel who's been floating the draft idea.

Bush has repeatedly said he opposes a draft,"""

What were his words? I know he's said a draft "isn't needed" -- but that's not the same thing as opposing it on principle. to people who hear neocons talking about further invasions in the Middle East, an assurance that the draft "isn't needed", can mean, "isn't needed - yet."
