Do you think Bush is dumb enough to bring back the draft?

Answer 1

He is stubburn enough to bring back the draft- if he wants it.

Answer 2

Who said President Bush is bringing back the draft? Get your facts straight and learn how your government works. Reinstatement of the draft would require the passage of a law...that's the job of the Congress (Legislative Branch) and not the President (Executive Branch). AND since 2002-03 2 Democrats have consistently submitted legislation in Congress to start the draft. In the House is is Rep. Rangle D-NY..see HR 164. In the Senate it was Sen. Hollings (D-SC) ...see S19..before he retired. They have been stuck in committee as the Republican don't want a draft started.

So, if there is to be a draft it will be pushed through the Congress by the now Democratic majority. President Bush should veto it....but if it goes to a possible new Democratic President...well, look out men and women (yes their bill requires women to be drafted also)...just don't forget to send the Democrat you voted into Congress a thank you card.

Doubt this information?That's why I listed the names and the bill numbers...do your home work....and learn how your government works. Did you fall a sleep Civic Class?

Answer 3

Bringing back the draft would be extraordinarily unpopular.

GWB's popularity (approval rating) is already in the dumps - it certainly won't improve with a renewed draft.

Any congressperson or senator who sponsors a bill to reinstate the draft is doing it for political reasons - 1) to point out how bad the war is going and that more troops are needed, and 2) to show how unfair the sacrifice is made on professional soliders & their families, not by average American citizens.

The president would not sign such a bill. He can order the Pentagon to keep changing the terms of service for unit deployments for regular and reserve troops so that commanders will have enough personnel to carry out whatever mission is expected.

Rumsfeld (with Cheney's approval) never intended to rely on a draft. Their plan all along was to use as few troops as possible to invade Iraq, because they knew that US voters would never support the 400,000 troops requested by Gen Shinseki back in 2002. The Powell Doctrine of overwhelming force is as much a military strategy as it was a political strategy - to get politicians to put their own careers on the line by committing a large military force to fight a discretionary war.

Answer 4

You need to do the research, get your thoughts together
The only one trying to bring back the draft is,
Rangel a dem from New York, and Ms Senator Clinton supports Rangel. Let me guess liberal papers like the New York Times arent reporting that deomcrats are pushing for the draft, are they ??? thats why you blame Bush CUZ U DONT KNOW!

While Bush may not be the brightest he's the reason islamic radicals havent been able to carry out any more terrorist act on US soil, but they dont tell you that either in the times,, do they, (unlike the last demo president )who sold satellite equipment to china, and allowed several terrost acts under his watch and did nothing, He finally bombed an empty aspirin factory to get the monica lewinsky scandal off his back. Do the reseach and analyze both sides next time you open your pie hole.

Answer 5

well he is stupid enough to send millions of dollars to the middle east and not help out enough in his own country and its people, sure bet he will have to re implement the draft, maybe he wont have to. if the united states have so many people that cant make enough to make a living and the government says here is a job that pays enough to make a living and the civilian population jumps at that then no draft. if enough people join voluntarily then he wont have to. but since he seems to like trying to be the worlds police he needs more people in the military so get ready for it if you are an American.
my opinion on president bush, im glad to be canadian

Answer 6

I'm really not trying to be offensive, I swear I'm not, but don't you guys read the papers? Watch the news? The ONLY person who has proposed the draft is a DEMOCRAT. Charlie Wrangel, D, NY.

As for Bush being dumb, he did better at Yale than Kerry did - so if Bush is dumb, Kerry must be brain dead. His "jokes" certainly reflect that.

Wow - thank God THAT loser didn't get elected, huh??

Answer 7

this war will not end until either an entire generation of our children are dead, or he gets his *** kicked the f*ck out in '08. whoever ends up starting the draft back, we wouldn't need the draft to come back if Bush wasn't wasting the lives of all of our VOLUNTARY soldiers by dropping them into a death-zone for no good reason other than to make his wrinkly old pappy proud

Answer 8

No. After what happened in Vietnam, and the surge of people joining the military after 911 he would have no reason to institute the draft. I don't believe that congress would approve it anyway. i would not lose any sleep over it.

Answer 9

I still remember the time when this kid came from behind me at the pool and pushed my head down into the water for no reason. No reason at all!! Of course, he was bigger than me so I couldnt do anything. But if I was friends with a shark, I would ask him to go bite his legs. And I wouldnt think about it twice.

Answer 10

If he needed to I think he would draft. He's already has enough voluntary people willing to go to war for the US that I don't think he'd need to. Hard to say though because with the amount of people dying and how long this has gone on for you never know what it might come to.

Answer 11

N O, It's the dimocrats who want to bring back the draft, NOT President Bush!!!!
