Okay the repeal of environmental protections had some sick orwellian name.

What would the draft be called?

Do not discuss the probability of a draft coming back.

Here are my ideas:

- Peacecorps: Iraq
- Early end of tour of duty
- The love your country conscription
- The anti-terror volunteer program

I don't know what they'd call it, but I'd call it time to move out.

If they do reinstitute it you will see demonstration the likes of those in the late 60's and early 70's.

WHEN they do reinstitute it the demonstrations will dwarf those, as it is more obvious this time that the war(s) are for all the wrong reasons.

Nah todays youth are a bunch of coddled pussies. The first canister of tear gas fired will send them scurrying home to their mothers!

Initiatives intended as solutions have their own problems. For example, General Peter Schoomaker, the army chief of staff, has since January lobbied for extra troops to relieve a service strained by operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In October he was rewarded when Congress passed the 2005 Defense Authorization Act that awaits presidential signature. The legislation requires the army, whose end strength currently is set by law at 482,400 soldiers, to grow to 502,400 by the end of 2005 and to 512,400 by 2009.

LOL. There it is. Maybe it's time to rename the Department of Defense back to the War Department.

Warmongering Enabling Act would be more legitmate.

There wont be a draft, becuase I will call Bush on it, he said there wont be one so dont expect one.
If he does TRY to make one then there will be hell to pay, non of use DEM or REP will stand for it.

Dont move out thats a chicken sh#t thing to do.

My Idea would be:

Out of the Suburbs into Iraq

Taking a cue from the naming conventions of reality TV shows:

Survivor - Fallujah. Outwit, Outlast, Outmanuever.

Or perhaps Extreme Makeover, Parris Island edition.
