Answer 1

In a way you are right. But sometimes there looks to be political posturing when it is not that way at all. I believe the charge usually comes from a different political party.

Answer 2

Not particularly excellent.

I fully expect the position to be to stay the course from the executive, but the congressional races this fall will be distancing themselves from any of the three choices you offer.

President Bush doesn't have to be re-elected.

There will not be a draft introduced anytime in the foreseeable future. No serious candidate will propose a draft, and the USA military doesn't want one.

You will find retired generals who may say that going into Iraq was not a good idea, but few, if any will say to leave now. It will be easier to find generals to say that not enough troops were committed. The military is quite large, and really isn't overextended. USA could double troops in Iran and Afghanistan within 48 hours if desired, and still maintain needed security.

No one is going to use the phrase "cut and run" or anything that would show cowardice, and have any chance of getting elected unless they were unopposed.

You can expect a great deal of posturing in the next month, but the opposition parties will be emphasizing applying resources to other problems.

No, the forthcoming congressional elections will not produce more than a few candidates in favor of a draft, and even if it were introduced, it wouldn't pass Congress. It has been tried before. I think Charlie Rangel(sp?) raises this issue from time to time, as has Al Sharpton.

Answer 3

Since our President seems to be scrambling all the eggs he's collected...it would be wisest to make an omelet from them. Eat and run like a bunny. He's a lot of puffin and strutting..."See the U.S. kick your feathered booty"...yeah, um hmm. I say withdraw our young men and women, and let Iraq sort this out by themselves. No more troops, no draft. How popular is something that you don't want to be involved in in the first place AND you're being made to do it. I think a pro-draft agenda would rate right up there with tossing gasoline on a big blaze. Um, no...

Answer 4

At least he's good at something! Stay the Course

Answer 5

Oh, please.
