Jim Hightower: The DRAFT



There's a huge, hulking, hairy beast lurking in the corner that the Powers That Be don't want you to notice: The draft.

Oh, no, insists George W, "We're not going to have a draft, period." But, isn't he the same guy who also insisted that Saddam Hussein absolutely had weapons of mass destruction? Why would anyone take his word?

Oh, say the talk-show pundits, the fear that a draft is coming is just paranoia being fueled by internet bloggers – pay no mind to such talk. But, aren't these the same pundits that assured us that our troops would be greeted by grateful Iraqis throwing rose petals at them – and that those troops would be home in no time? Who trusts them?

Every day, we see the reality in news reports of a war gone horribly bad – and of so-called "leaders" who don't have a clue as to what to do except throw more troops at it. Indeed, top military analysts concede that our troops will have to occupy that country for another 10-20 years.

to reality....for Vietnam, guys were HUNTED DOWN by the military...


more snips....

Meanwhile, Bush is already pushing for his next war – this one in Iran. There's also that boiling pot in North Korea, a nation that really does have weapons of mass destruction. Plus, we're still in Afghanistan, there's the genocide in Darfur, we're sinking more troops into the jungle of Colombia – and we're constantly told to expect yet another major hit on America by al Qaeda.

Where will the Bushites get the troops for all of this? Not by continuing to force current troops in Iraq to extend their stay – that's illegal conscription and there's already rebellion within the ranks. The volunteer army? Guess what? Recruitment is way off now that potential volunteers see the Bushites' inept handling of their wars. Maybe George's military-age daughters or the kids of Halliburton executives will suddenly step forward to volunteer for America – but don't hold your breath.
