The Army is running out of fresh troops to send to Iraq which may lead to the unthinkable - a new draft. Talk about ending this illegal war in a hurry. If the average 18- to 19-year-old kid thought they'd have to go lose a limb or their lives for Bush's Illegal, Immoral War of Aggression Against Iraq, they would hit the streets in numbers not seen since Vietnam. This is why the Bush Administration is really afraid of the draft.

Excerpt:

The Army's 38 available combat units are deployed, just returning home or already tapped to go to Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere, leaving no fresh troops to replace five extra brigades that President Bush sent to Baghdad this year, according to interviews and military documents reviewed by The Associated Press.

That presents the Pentagon with several painful choices if the U.S. wants to maintain higher troop levels beyond the spring of 2008:

    * Using National Guard units on an accelerated schedule.

    * Breaking the military's pledge to keep soldiers in Iraq for no longer than 15 months.

    * Breaching a commitment to give soldiers a full year at home before sending them back to war.

For a war-fatigued nation and a Congress bent on bringing troops home, none of those is desirable.

Now we must take exception to a phrase in that last sentence. We have seen no evidence that Congress is "bent on bringing troops home." If that were really true, they'd be home by now.
