we knew it was true, and now awol admits it...though, to be fair, he only made a mistake saying it, and went back to correct himself as soon as he realized he said it wrong.Emphasis mine. Bush often tells the truth in his misspeaks... (example: "The world would be safer without us." and "Some say Iraq would be better off if we never went there. And they was right!").
campaigning in ohio today, awol said it out loud: if he's elected*, there will be a draft. oops! reuters:the president said he was outraged when the massachusetts democrat told the des moines register this week that there was "great potential" for a draft for iraq if bush were re-elected -- even though bush had said in a televised debate with kerry that there wouldn't be one. but he made a gaffe in his delivery.
"after standing on the stage, after the debates, i made it very plain: we will not have an all-volunteer army," bush told a rally in daytona beach.
realizing his error a few seconds later, bush said: "let me restate that: we will not have a draft. no matter what my opponent tries to tell people and scare them, we will have an all-volunteer army. the only person talking about a draft is my opponent."
