according to Gen. Barry Mccaffrey, ret. on Hardball right now. Says we have done everything that can be done and that next spring we run out. It's on now, and will be repeated at least where I am, later. #s being thrown around are 80K more army troops and 30K more marine troops just to maintain status quo.

For all of you who dislike Matthews, he's asking some GOOD questions...like, how many Arabs do we have to kill before Arabs like us?

3. The pubbies won't.
They'll call it something else, so they can claim they didn't start a draft.

5. They can sugar coat it all they want but at the end of the day
no matter what they call it, it's a draft. And since the pubbies are in charge these past four years and for the next four years, the re-emergence of the draft falls on their hypocritical heads.

They are after all, disconnected when it comes to what their leaders promise them and what is actually delivered once in power.
