Kerry- Great Potential Of Draft With Bush

[KittyWampus]

There is "a great potential" for a military draft in the United States should President Bush win re-election in November, Democratic challenger John Kerry said Thursday during an interview with The Des Moines Register.

"With George Bush, the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of a draft," Kerry said during a meeting with Register reporters and editors before headlining a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Bush campaign aides dismissed Kerry's comments as "irresponsible" and "the mother of all cheap political scare tactics."

Kerry and Bush have both said repeatedly that neither would reinstate the draft. Bush pledged during the debates to maintain the "all-volunteer army."

Kerry has said a draft is "possible" under Bush and has characterized the heavy use of National Guard and Reserve troops as a "backdoor draft."

Kerry's comments Thursday went further.

"With George Bush, the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of the draft. Because if we go it alone, I don't know how you do it with the current overextension" of the military, Kerry said.

3. Kerry! Kerry! Kerry!

This is an example of why I have faith in this man.

The draft idea was something I wanted pushed months ago. It's obvious Chimp boy loves to start wars, and they need bodies for wars, and it's a concept even the simpletons can understand.

But now Kerry is just saying it. Scare tactics, yeah baby!

The Democratic Fear Factor has arrived.

5. Didn't Kerry say at one point...

...that he reserved the right to re-instate the draft if needed? And I thought I read somewhere on his site that he wants to impose some sort of "national service"?
