The best way to win a war is to have actuaries on the front lines.

"all persons in the United States, including women,"

Glad to know they are included in the definition of "all persons". Being a strict follower ofthe Constitution, I'm curious as to whether blacks are also included?

Most other industrialized countries do this, and I think it's probably a good idea in general, gives people an appreciation for service, military service in particular, and it's developmentally beneficial for most people that age. Anybody know why other countries do this and we don't?

because it it an incredible waste of time and very inefficient use of resources.

Nice to see that they don't write these things too broadly. Wouldn't want any unwanted ammendments to sneek in.

Charlie Rangel again tries to institute a draft.

This has less chance of passing than the gay-marriage amendment. Two years ago a similar bill from him was defeated 402-2. Rangel himself voted against.

First, the Bush PCS will continue to rupture federal and state programs that assist the middle and lower classes of America and their culture and environment. The US Supreme Court will eliminate a woman's right to choose. Constitutional amendments banning gay rights, women's rights and civil rights/affirmative action will be proposed by the Bush PCS and, in all likelihood, will succeed. An additional amendment to the constitution concerning military rule in case of an attack on US soil by any foreign individual or state will be added easing the way towards military rule in America.

While the nation debates these issues, Bush will quietly issue an edict supporting a return to the draft. The massive military campaign that is sure to follow will require millions of US military personnel that can only be had forcibly through conscription. As early as the Christian holiday of Christmas in December 2004, or more likely, the Christian Easter Holiday in April 2005 (celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ), the Bush PCS will attack. Syria will be attacked by American-British-Israeli coalition forces, primarily from its Western, Southern and Eastern flanks. There will be no prolonged bombing campaign in this operation. The air campaign will be concomitant with an amphibious assault on Syria's Western shores, accompanied by a land invasion from the Southern and Eastern flanks. The forces of the American led coalition will crush the dilapidated Syrian military within 10 business days.

The Palestinians will likely be granted a piece of the former Syria and will be relocated there by the US and Israel.
Simultaneously with invasion of Syria, Iran will be subjected to an extraordinary air and cruise missile assault led by American forces. This operation will include additional military elements from the Turkish and Afghani military who will have been promised a piece of Iran once it is defeated. A withering air assault will come from the Northwest through Turkey, from the West from US controlled Iraq, from the East from the air bases in Afghanistan, and from carrier groups and cruise missile launching submarines, to include an Israeli submarine, in the Persian Gulf. Within 60 business days, Iran will be defeated by US-led forces. And should Iran successfully test a nuclear weapon prior to that time, the Bush PCS will accelerate its timetable for attack opting to use tactical nuclear weapons to take out Iranian nuclear weaponry.

Since the Bush PCS believes that North Korea cannot be allowed to exist, it will attack North Korea simultaneously with its invasion of Syria and Iran.

I think it would be funny if this was posted as many times as the "Mission Accomplished" picture was posted.

Well, ok, by "funny", I meant "not funny".
