There is a "great potential of a draft" to replenish U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites) if President Bush (news - web sites) wins a second term, Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) said on a campaign stop in Iowa.
Bush said in the second presidential debate that there would be no revival of the military draft under any circumstances if he is re-elected. "We're not going to have a draft, period," the president said.
However, Kerry told The Des Moines Register, "With George Bush (news - web sites), the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of a draft." The interview was published Friday as Kerry was leaving for Wisconsin and a speech on the economy.

What a flaming idiot.
Race baiting.
What he is not saying is that he would be the one to institue it.
I think the only "draft" is the one in the seat of Kerry's pants where he keeps blowing air.
Kerry is the only candidate advocating *MORE* troops in Iraq.
How dare he! The truth is if he's elected, there will be a military crisis of epic proportions. Who in their right mind would ever want to salute that guy? Think about it. Your Father or Grandfather was in Vietnam and the man you're reporting to called them baby killers. It would be a mess.
Considering that DEMOCRATS are the only ones who have been introducing draft bills...
And kerry is going to get the exra 40,000 troops from where?
John's desperation is showing. Stand back and watch him flame out.
Smells desperate. Hopefully it's a trend.
He's going increase troop levels by 40,000 and he is after Bush?...Good grief!
Maybe Kerry just doesn't consider that an insult. After all, many of his best supporters ARE baby killers.
Keep it up Kerry. Bush can now say that by admission and constant references, Kerry is for the Draft. Bush must state this to his young base!!!!!!!
So, this is more bovine exhaust from John F-lopsweat Kerry.
As long as Bush is reelected, there won't be a draft. If skerry gets elected, heaven forbid, he WILL have to reinstitute a draft, because most (I for one) in the military would get out. Not many would serve the military with him as POTUS.
Kerry is spinning like a top.
One of the ladies who was doing Phone Bank work with me told me that her son had to WAIT until January to get to boot camp because there are so many enlistees!
Of course, information like that doesn't make it to
ABCNNBCBS!
But all your young base are belong to...oh, forget it.
What angers me is that Kerry brings this up, knowing it's a lie, but figuring that the people whom he appeals to are so frickin' stupid that they're not going to know any better. I detest these people!
