Answer the question Bush -- Draft or no draft?
Bush-Cheney camp responds to Kerry's comments that a draft is possible with four more years of Bush:

"John Kerry raising the possibility of a military draft is as irresponsible as him raising the possibility that the war he voted for is illegal. The one thing John Kerry has demonstrated this week is his willingness to say whatever he believes will benefit him politically, regardless of its effect on our troops, our allies and our mission."

Steve Schmidt,
Campaign spokesman


But they're still avoiding the topic. Kerry stated today there would be NO draft if he's elected.

Can Bushco say the same? Will they say the same?

It's a simple question.

1. Kerry should ask him next week.
Apparently, the Bush campaign didn't even READ what Kerry actually SAID.

All the better for Kerry.

4. However, what is the point in asking Smirk about
what he will do in the future?
He will say anything to get elected. So he will answer: "We have already said many times that there will not be a draft".

I think it might be better to ask him why he hasn't already implemented all the "good stuff" he keeps promising in his campaign. After all, he's been pResident for 4 years already. Why then, did he do exactly the opposite of what he claims to be doing?
(this of course includes the so called "War on Terror", which has exacerbated terrorism everywhere in the world. Good job, Smirk)
