I suspect it’s like so many other things the democrats demand when republicans are in power. They want to force republicans to do unpopular things that they don’t want to do themselves.
They call for the draft knowing it won’t happen, they demand immediate withdrawl from Iraq, and there’s the GITMO thing. They won’t do any of them themselves, they just want republicans to do them so it can be used against us.
I guess we will have to just kill the terrorists on sight.
