"[/size][/font]Now That Election Is Over, Expect to See Conscription"
"Within a matter of weeks, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), plans to try and re-institute the military draft, saying the present voluntary system places an unfair burden of war among lower- and middle-class Americans while giving the rich a free ride from military service."
He is essentially reintroducing legislation that failed to gain support last session."
" In a political move, Democrats quickly rushed the bill to the House floor, where it was summarily rejected by an overwhelming majority. Rangel even voted against his own legislation, for obvious tactical political reasons."
" With the election now over, opponents of the draft claim the path is now clear for politicians from both sides of the aisle to get behind the draft, with Rangel obviously leading the charge."
" In a recent Los Angeles Times article, former security advisors Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski were quoted as saying the U.S. requires at least 500,000 more troops to sustain the war in Iraq and reinstatement of the draft may be unpopular but necessary."
At best, Rangels bill merely plays into Bushs hands,
" A White House spokesman this week refused to comment on Rangels initiative, but said Bush has publicly opposed any legislation to reinstitute the draft. Privately, however, Galvin and others fear Bush is just waiting for the right moment to spring the draft back on the American people since he no longer has to worry about getting re-elected."

"Faced with the inevitability of a Bush draft, supported by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress as a response to staying the course in Iraq, the American people, especially young Americans, who will be the victims of bullet-stopper slavery, will once again rise in opposition, as they did in the 1960s and the early 1970s. Of course, the Strausscons expect this and that is why the Patriot Act was put in place and the FBIwith help from the CIA and, we can only presume, intelligence operations run out of the Pentagonwill work double-time to undermine and characterize as terrorist any effective anti-war and anti-draft movement. Opposition will be far more difficult than it was in the 1960s, as brutal as the governments response was at the time, culminating in COINTELPRO and murder at Kent State and elsewhere. It will be up to the cell phone generation, far more brainwashed by consumerism and the corporate media than the previous generation, to resist the bullet-stopper slavery that will decimate the lower and middle classes in this country. It remains to be seen if they are up to the challenge, especially if
another 9/11, or something worse, is engineered between now and when the draft notices begin arriving."
