The U.S. Military Draft Would Likely Be Reinstated if George Bush Were Elected in 2004.Gen. Wesley Clark said he decided to run for president after learning of Bush's plans to attack more Middle East nations following the Iraq war. The resulting neces- sity to revive the draft is being kept secret for the political survival of George Bush. But, forebodings abide with frequently broadcasted concerns about inadequate troop levels while thousands of insurgents from other Islamic countries intent on killing our troops are daily entering Iraq. Bush's billion dollars a day Iraq war was supposed to eradicate terrorists and not generate tens of thousands more. However, this 1998 conceived war is not about terrorism. Instead, as Gen. Wesley Clark learned, it is the disguised first phase of George Bush building his corporate American empire. Meanwhile, U.S. borders remain almost as porous for terrorists before the World Trade Center attack because resources earmarked for the war against terrorism are being diverted to Iraq. So, a vote for George Bush is a vote for our kids to be thrust into shooting galleries around the world.
