A peek around the corner...

... at what may lie ahead if Bush wins the election this fall:

U.S. preparing for military draft in spring of 2005

From UtneReader (and other sources):
After the champagne popping from Washington to Crawford, Texas subsides, a re-elected President George W. Bush would reinstate the military draft sometime next spring. Legislation is already on the table in both the House and the Senate, in the form of twin bills S 89 and HR 163, "in order to staff up for a protracted war on terrorism...."
The bills in question -- S 89 and HR 163 -- can be looked up here.
