many of those drafted will work for the homeland security dictatorship running checkpoints, monitoring cameras. the new economy is surveillance, police state and prisons...because turning into soviet russia or nazi germany will keep us safe from the freedom hating evil muslims who hate freedom.

what on earth is wrong with you? don't you understand that destroying what our country is and getting rid of freedom will actually protect and give us more freedom?

LOL...all the attack would be about is taking out their nuclear capabilities. But of course we ARE the evil empire looking to snatch up the worlds oil...right?

But dude, they never threatened the US! Maybe Israel, but Israel is an entirely different country and those people need to sort out their childish differences. It's Zionism that is the problem! This is also the same crap Bush pulled when he wanted to invade Iraq! He lied to us then..why should we believe him now? I never really believed anything Bush said anyway. If there is a draft, there will be so many riots and protests, most of them on college campuses.

O.K. Guess we could allow the Arab world to push them into the sea. Hell, lets all do a goose step at the same time!

How many times do we have to bitchslap these threads by introducing reality. The truth is the draft bills (there were 2) were sponsored and co-sponsored by democraps to try and blame Bush for a non-existant and unwanted draft. Have you heard of a canard? That's what these draft threads are. Propagandized much?

Restoring the Draft: The Universal National Service Act of 2006


by Michel Chossudovsky

May 30, 2006

Congressman Charles Rangel, a Democrat (NY), introduced on 14 February 2006 a bill in the US Congress which requires:

"all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a [two year] period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."

The bill applies to both US citizens and non-citizens, to men and women. There does not appear to be a provision which would exempt women who are pregnant and/or caring for infants/children in a young age.

While there was some media coverage of Rangel's initiative prior to the formal introduction of the bill, the matter has not been mentioned by the US media since it was introduced in February. There has been a deafening silence: since February 2006, not a single article or editorial has appeared in print on the Universal National Service Act of 2006.

Neither has it been the object of public debate. The bill has been referred to the House Armed Services Committee and the Subcommittee on Military Personnel. Ironically, in previous discussion leading up the bill, Rangel's initiative to restore the draft was described as "an anti-war tactic".

"Rangel opposes war with Iraq and seeks to make the point that many soldiers are volunteers from low-income and minority families. Political leaders, his reasoning goes, would think twice about sending into war the sons and daughters of a more complete cross-section of America. But whether or not one agrees with Rangel's rationale, many Americans would agree that universal service can be a great leveler and a unifying force in society."

Despite Rangel's antiwar resolve, the bill supports Washington's stated objective to extend the war into new frontiers and to ultmately send an entire generation of young Americans to fight an illegal, and unjust war. It is worth noting in this regard that the Neoconservative Project for a New American Century calls for increasing active duty strength from 1.4 to 1.6 million.

The bill also supports Big Brother. Those who are not sent overseas to the war theater would, according to the clauses of the bill, be inducted into the civilian homeland defense corps and other civilian duties, including the Citizens Corps, the "Neighborhood Watch Teams" and the "Volunteer Police Service" established in partnership with local law enforcement. (see http://www.citizencorps.gov/pdf/council.pdf )

While there is at present significant opposition to the bill on both sides of the House, the US military is overextended and lacks the manpower to carry out its global war agenda. This shortage of military personnel is blatantly obvious in Iraq, where the occupation forces are meeting fierce resistance.

The situation regarding the draft could also change if the war were to be extended into Iran. In which case, the substance of this bill could indeed be adopted to meet the manpower requirements of the US military.


History of the Bill

This is the second time Rep. Charles Rangel introduces his controversial bill.

In January 2003, HR 163 was submitted in the House.

It was voted upon and defeated in the House in October 2003, on the grounds that it had not been sent for committee hearings. However, it was suggested at the time that the Republican-controlled House wanted to defeat the bill, to squash rumors that Bush would reintroduce the draft if reelected.

"In spite of adamant denial of draft rumors, Internet and campus campaigners had trumpeted the bill as evidence of a "secret plan" to reinstate the draft in case President Bush is re-elected."

O.K. Guess we could allow the Arab world to push them into the sea. Hell, lets all do a goose step at the same time!

But the Jews were scattered long ago. The true meaning of Israel is spiritual. The establishment of modern Israel is run by Illuminati who want to bring together a biblical-like war described in the Book of Revelation. They know the land is the land of the Muslims, so the Elite rulers want to create conflict by bringing the Jews there. This has been going on for years. It gets you nowhere. This is called Zionism and Bush adheres to it deeply.

I chastise the Arabs for not seeing the true meaning of Islam yet. Because they take their religion again to an extreme, they will not tolerate the 'people of the Book (Jews)'. But the ones who want to return to Israel take Torah and the prophets way too seriously to an extreme, so they are both held in contempt. Blood could probably have not been spilled if the Illuminati had not created a State for them taking away Palestinian land. If both religions can learn to embrace a more spiritual non dogmatic path, than the Jews and Muslims will truly be called Sons of Abraham.

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize this was an anti-semitic, jew/Bush bashing thread. The illuminati conspiracy theory that was thrown in provided a nice touch for illusion. The tin-foil hat crowd never fail to entertain but I could do without the typical "blame the jews for everything" deal that liberals tend to do.

Again, there will be no draft...

Hope that helps

[Miss Green]

Yeah it will proberly get to that point where bush will have to draft people if he starts a war with Iran god how many soilders can the yanks have?.Its already hard for them to recruit new members to fight in Iraq so I don't know how he is going to achieve this.
