What Are We Waiting For?
See. The problems in Iraq have not been the product of the administration's incompetence.
The problem is that Iran is fomenting violence to keep us from turning Iraq into a beacon of democracy.
There's only one thing to do . . . well, two things. Let's implement a draft. And let's go after the bastards. Now.

Wow, if unnamed officials say it's true, I guess we have to believe it. After all, if it later turned out that they were lying or inflating the threat, the credibility of persons unknown would be shot. Congress might subpoena unspecified individuals to explain their conduct. Reporters would have to find a completely new set of unnamed officials to quote... or at least make the current set wear some sort of masks to disguise their lack of identity.

Let's implement a draft
There only seems to have been one guy suggesting a draft. And I'm pretty sure his name is Charlie Rangel.
(Of course, the democrat is only supporting it because the republicans have started a completely unnecessary war. But it's still proof that both parties are equally morally bankrupt.)

You remember the quote from Euripides that was used to describe the Japanese after their decision to attack the US?
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
