Will Bush Reinstate The Draft?

By Carl F. Worden

The president said, "There's no question we have a security issue in Iraq, and we've just got to deal with it person to person."

Let me see: There are more than 5,000,000, mostly hostile Iraqis living in Baghdad alone, and we've got what, 150,000 soldiers on the ground in the entire country? That's 33 heavily armed Iraqis to 1 American in Baghdad alone, so If "we" deal with it person to person, we're going to lose this war for sure!

No, Mr. President, "we" won't be dealing with any such thing. Our young kids in the military, who thought they could trust you, and who thought you knew what you were doing and that you were telling the truth about Iraq's imminent threat to the United States, are the ones having to deal with it person to person. There is no "we" Mr. President. They are dealing with it by getting killed on the average of one per day, and more than that will be coming home with horrifying wounds and life-long disabilities. I have often felt the lucky ones die.
