The point of these commie-libs introducing and advocating conscription isn't
to get more sodliers for the military. The point of it all is to get more
people mad at "the man."

Ed is right, there is zero potential for these half-hearted attempts to
accomplish conscription. It's the commie-libs version of "you're either
with us or your're with [the administration]." You have to wonder when the
same people that alaways want to cut funding for DoD suddenly want to hang
some millstone around the neck of DoD, if these people do actually want us
to win against the terrorist.

Rep Rangel introduces Draft Bill (for Iran?!):

Rangel has done this before--about three years ago. At that time the
bill went nowhere until just before the presidential election at which
time it was defeated something like 425 to 5. Rangel didn't vote for
his own bill.

If you won't "cowerfromthetruth" you should note that Rangel is a
Democrat, exceptionally liberal (bordering on socialist), from a
heavily minority district in Detroit and adamantly against the
administration. A draft bill is totally ludicrous. Conscripts don't
have the retainability or the necessary skills for the configuration
of the current US military establishment. If you've watched operations
recently you might have noted that we no longer depend upon massed
forces marching in lock-step across the plains of Waterloo.
