Poll question: Poll: McSame & his "100 year" Iraq war - How's he gonna do it w/ a depleted army?
Poll question:

McSame has expressed an interest in military action in Iran, and in continuing Bush's war in Iraq for "as long as it takes." Given the depleted state of the U.S. military, how do you think he will accomplish this if he becomes president?

1. further destruction of the middle class
and a draft that excludes the children of the wealthy and connected.

2. I'm afraid you may be correct. It's difficult to see any other scenario.

3. He's talking out of both sides of his mouth, splitting off issues, pandering to his base.
It shows that he's willing to appear disconnected from the whole and that he has no moral center.

4. The draft kills war.
Like Pete Seeger's banjo kills hatred.

6. Ahhh - Pete Seeger, he's truly one to emulate, & a draft may or may not
kill this war - but McSame has very few options, & he's not looking for a 2nd term. He'll take action early on, and count on the short term memory of the American public.

5. Offer "instant citizenship" at the mexican border. I'm serious - I can
see that happening.

7. That's sort of like outsourcing, I agree, there would be an instant infusion of manpower.
