For 6 months now, I have been predicting that Bush will ask Congress on April 1, 2005 for the reinstatement of the DRAFT. "We're not going to cut and run from Iraq--that's why I'm asking you to reauthorize conscription", he'll say--and they'll give it to him or be unpatriotic.
The SSS FY 2004 plan reduces the DRAFT ACTIVATION time down from the current 6 months to just 75 days by March 31, 2005. On that day the SSS must report to the Director that the whole machinery is oiled up and ready to go by June 15, 2005.
Expect that date, the earliest possible date we can conscript (without giving away the GOP playbook), to be the first DRAFT LOTTERY since 1973. Any male out there who will be 20 anytime during 2005 is eligible. A Medical and Special Skill DRAFT will induct tens of thousands of male and female doctors, nurses, programmers, engineers and linguists under the age of 45. You would have to sign up at the local PO if those occupations are listed on your IRS form. The deadline for YOU signing up would be May 1, 2005 if what I predict comes to pass.
Did I mention that the Pentagon could ask for many other occupations they have a shortage of?
Now don't forget that Kerry has his NO-DRAFT PLAN that I explained yesterday, so no posts on him drafting too, unless you can explain why his NO-DRAFT PLAN will not work--which means you first have to go over his 40,000 troop plan and Civilian Stability Corps idea and really know it.
BUSH 'O4 = DRAFT 04/01/05
