The Draft?

Salon reports:

The community draft boards that became notorious for sending reluctant young men off to Vietnam have languished sinced the early 1970s, their membership ebbing and their purpose all but lost when the draft was ended. But a few weeks ago, on an obscure federal Web site devoted to the war on terrorism, the Bush administration quietly began a public campaign to bring the draft boards back to life.

What is this about? If the bushies are starting to beef up the draft boards how long do you think it will be before they ask congress to activate a draft?

Will congress roll over and play dead? Oops, I forgot, the republican majority are already on their backs and there is little to suggest from the original Iraq vote and the subsequent funding votes that there will be significant democratic opposition.

How soon will the bushies start publically spinning a set of stories to prep folks for a draft? And will there be special events to support the argument?
