53. I strongly suspect an attack against Iran is in the works...

or is at least very much on the table. But an invasion is out of the question. A draft would not be required, as you say. One of the many problems with this is the law of unintended consequences. Once the administration attacks Iran, Iran might respond in a way (by sending troops over the border into Iraq or by shutting of the Strait of Hormuz) as to "necessitate" a broader US presence, which in turn would "necessitate" a draft. That's the scenario most likely to bring about a draft. I don't see it happening short of that, though.
