In his latest election-year stunt to undermine the Bush administration -- and our national resolve to finish the job in Iraq -- John Kerry has launched a petition calling for the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Kerry claims that Secretary Rumsfeld should be held personally responsible for the actions of a few soldiers in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison who humiliated a group of the captive terrorists in their search for "actionable intelligence." This is the same John F. Kerry, by the way, who has alternately employed claims of his Vietnam wartime heroism and wartime criminality to catapult himself into the highest echelons of public life over the past three decades. Kerrys irrational call for Rumsfelds resignation, harkening back to his days as a Vietnam War protestor, is anything but out of the ordinary for the "gentleman from Massachusetts." His campaign claims that petition has received about 250,000 signatures. Act now to refute this political folly and support Secretary Rumsfeld.
I did look up the Selective Service on the web. If they restarted the draft, young people do have options. Serve in the military for four years. Or go into humanitarian programs for four years if your a conscientious objector. Work for the Peace Corp or the America Corp. Sounds okay with me.
I had no idea that they'd changed the rules. Sounds just like Germany. As long as they're not permitted to work for groups like the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, or the Open Society Institute, all of which are trying to get our boys and girls killed.
