In a classic sign of pure desperation and dishonesty, John Kerry and associates sought to strike fear into voters in warning that if Bush is elected, there’s a “great potential” for a draft. Striking fear into the hearts and minds of people is apparently something that goes right over the heads of Kerry and camp.
WASHINGTON – John Kerry said Friday there is a “great potential” for a new military draft to replace overextended U.S. troops in Iraq if President Bush wins a second term, despite Bush’s repeated pledges to maintain the all-volunteer service. Republicans rejected the suggestion as “fear mongering.”
…
“With George Bush, the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of a draft. Because if we go it alone, I don’t know how you do it with the current overextension” of the military, Kerry said.
…
In the second presidential debate, Bush said, “We’re not going to have a draft, period.” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has made similar statements.
Judging by the latest poll results, however, bringing more citizens into the military would bode well for Bush, since the poll shows that the military and their families support Bush by a 3-to-1 margin.
