Forced Callup of More Reservists and Guardsmen Immediately After Election?

That's what John Murtha (D-PA) says is the scuttlebutt going around among both parties in Washington; that they don't want to announce it aloud because it might sound back for our dear leader. Little do they know that the Supreme Court would never let that happen.

They don't want to call a draft because the word upset people even back when they mistakenly believed Saddam was a particular threat to us. A draft before the election now that so many do realize (or are incapable of thought, I guess) that Iraq was a sham that Bush turned into an unholy mess, would indeed not do much for big bad Bush.

But forced reenlistments (sign up for 3 years or you're on the next shuttle to Baghdad), keeping "weekend" warriors in combat 20/7 for more than a year at a time and then forcing more reservists and guardsmen into service just after the election sure sounds like a draft.
