Subject: RE: BS: Ask McCain: Reinstitute draft?
Here's what McCain said about it, two times:

The point is it's American casualties. We've go to get American's off the frontlines, have the Iraqis as part of the strategy, take over more and more of the responsibilities, and then I don't think Americans are concerned if we're there for one hundred years or a thousand years or ten thousand years.

then, he said, By the way, that reminds me of that "100 year thing". My friends, the war will be over soon. The war, for all intents and purposes, although the insurgency will go on for years and years and years. But it will be handled by the Iraqis, not by us.

So...it will be over soon? Mission Accomplished ala Bush? But, apparently we could be there forever!

Poppagator, I agree, someone needs to hold his feet to the fire and see what he has to say about the draft.
