OK, seriously this time: OUR KIDS IN JEOPARDY

Bush war czar this afternoon: asked if our forces in Iraq in Afghanistan are stretched enough to make it worthwhile to consider a draft, responds, "I think it makes sense to certainly consider it."

Even more mindblowing: "And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table."

1. When I took my Selective Service training last month we were told

there are no plans for a draft. I tend to believe this as they are now trying to lure our kids with money. Up to 50,000.00 in some cases.

2. Oh please, let the Rethuglicans bring it up. They'll never

win another election while they attempt to devise the rules so that their kids don't have to go.

3. Exactly what I was saying earlier

These cretins don't make public pronouncements for shits and giggles.

They're "testing the waters".
