Democrats Reinstating The Draft?! What The Fuck?!
From Jackie Frank at Reuters (gag):
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An influential Democratic lawmaker on Sunday
called for reinstatement of the draft as a way to boost U.S. troop
levels and draw a broader section of the population into the military
or public service.U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, the incoming
chairman of the House of Representatives’ tax-writing committee, said
he would introduce legislation to reinstate the draft as soon as the
new, Democratic-controlled Congress convenes in January.
Democrats reinstating the draft. Rangel is a moron, and the world has flipped on its head. Democrats are now anti-Israel and pro-draft, the Republicans are now pro-Israel and (maybe) anti-draft.
I… I… uh… my head hurts.
Update 20061122: From Reuters via Drudge Report Feed:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A reinstatement of the military draft, being
pushed by a senior Democrat, will not be slated for consideration in
the House of Representatives, the chamber’s newly elected top leaders
said on Monday.“We did not include that” in legislative plans
for early next year, said Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, who
will be House majority leader when the new Congress convenes in January
under Democratic control for the first time in 12 years.
Notice they don’t denounce it, they just say it’s not included in the schedule. It’s not going to go away.
