I don't really put much stock in the arguments forwarded by this article on a possible upcoming draft (they say there is a lot of preparation being done to plan for a draft, despite urgings from the admin that there will be no draft). It's interesting reading, but honestly, I'm only posting this to archive the following paragraph so I can find it again when I'm in some argument some time. It catalogues some of the more blatant and large-scale absurdities espoused by this administration.
As for Bush and Rummy, keep in mind that they’re the guys who told us they had no plans to invade Iraq (they did), that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (there weren’t), that the invasion and occupation would be a cakewalk (it hasn’t been), that the Iraqis would greet us with flowers (they didn’t), that the mission was “accomplished” two years ago (it wasn’t), that 160,000 new Iraqi security forces are fully trained and ready to take over for U.S. troops (they aren’t), and that our coalition of allies remains strong (it doesn't).
