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.
Kerry is telling voters that Bush's record on jobs and taxes has helped special interests, not their interests, as he heads into the final stretch of his presidential campaign with running mate John Edwards.
