I have heard, and cannot verify, Murtha called for a draft re-instatement.

Could you let me know if this if the case.

(D) Rangel has called for a re-instatment of the draft on November 2, 2006

This is the first prolonged war we've ever fought with three years of tax cuts without full mobilization of American industry and without a draft.

And the college campuses always ask me about a draft. "Are you for a draft?" I say, "Yes, there's only two of us who voted for it, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

The above is from a news conference on 11/17/05 where he referred to a draft but he's whistling in the wind. He's never officially called for a draft that I know of.

He has a tendency to shoot his mouth off as when he said we could redeploy our troops to Okinawa.
