Just how big will these air strikes be? Did the tax-cheat just escalate the situation?

[Nachum]

Didn’t take long for the DemocRATs to scream for the Draft. They’re itching for it.

[cripplecreek]

Somebody tell Charlie he doesn’t need to do this again.

[LucianOfSamasota]

So why does Rangel want to reinstate the draft?

[knarf]

Yeah ... what IS it with this guy and the draft?

Maybe wrinkle was drafted and he's still pissed off about it.

[freebilly]

Rangel is full of crap....

Dem democrats loooooooveses de draft.

[workerbee]

Oh my.... am I actually agreeing with Alan Grayson?

[lightman]

So why does Rangel want to reinstate the draft?

He knows that there is no political tide in favor of it so by linking Syria to the draft---no action in Syria.

[cripplecreek]

He does it to stir anti war sentiment.

Kind of interesting that he’s doing it now. Kind of a shot across the bow of the scow of Obama.

[Twotone]

It’s the only way his bro’s are gonna get a job!

[Future Snake Eater]

Oh God, shut up, Rangel. Just shut up. You’re just grandstanding, everyone knows it. We know it, your “friends,” everyone. Shut up.

So why does Rangel want to reinstate the draft?

A country that can't raise enough volunteers to defend itself isn't worth defending.

Democrats want a country that needs a draft.

So why does Rangel want to reinstate the draft?

Him? The logic is sound on his part. Libs are usually cowards and the good Congressman Rangel actually served and went to Korea.

He obviously thinks that if liberal politicians actually have to go and tell their constituents that average Americans are going to have fight and die, they will BACK OFF -like the cowards they are.

Some shmucks like Rahm Emaneul actually like the idea. They want every American to serve for two years, like in Israel. Americans have gotten quite used to the idea that their kids don't have to serve in the military.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Something about - ‘only the lower class’ fight the wars?

I think they just hate liberty that much - any chance to FORCE a citizen to do something is rewarding to them.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Rangel really is a one trick pony.

[o-n-money]

So why does Rangel want to reinstate the draft?

Ain't that the frickin' truth!

[Olog-hai]

He did this seven years ago but for a different stated reason.
