Did you get yesterday's posts?
This has been debunked by snoopes and the draft bill was proposed by a
DEMOCRAT! It has no co-sponsers and has not advanced out of commitee
study.
Kerry's people need to get SOME facts straight (they're batting 0 right
now, including ties to the Rather fiasco, unless you count empty
promises made by the biggest flip-flopper to ever run for president,
Kerry has offered nothing new)

agreement with the Canada which will no longer permit anyone attempting
to dodge the draft to stay within it's borders. This bill also includes
the extension of military service for all those that are currently
active. If you go to the select service web site and read their 2004
FYI Goals you will see that the reasoning for this is to increase the
size of the military in case of terrorism. This is a critical piece of
legislation, this will effect our undergraduates, our children and our
grandchildren.

prediction of a "long, hard slog" in Iraq and Afghanistan and permanent
state of war on terrorism) proves accurate, the U.S. may have no choice
but to draft.
