So what's the issue? Are the regular forces streached? Yes, even the Pentagon says that. Are there rumors of a draft? Yes, regardless of the source of the rumors only a fool would say that they don't exist or that people aren't buying in to them. Do either candidate support a draft? No, and CBS quoted both of them on this. The problem isn't that CBS reported this, or that they gave it more than their usual media bias. The problem is that Bush can deny plans for a draft until he's blue in the face and a significant percentage of the population won't believe him. The question is why won't they believe him?
Answer: Because they are useful idiots, and conspirazoids.
