If he only had a brain...

Bush decided to take the offensive today on the military draft issue and, of course, totally fucked it up.

He first came out against the draft, then for it, then against it. He finally concluded his speech by saying a vote for him was the best way to AVOID a draft, which was simply a bizarre assertion to make - and more importantly, it was damn stupid. Bizarre in that how is a vote for Bush the best way to avoid a draft? Because if we vote for him we'll all die and that will mean we won't get drafted?

But even better, Bush has now put into play whether a vote for him will or won't help or hinder a draft. So now it's not only fair, but downright demanded, of journalists to investigate the facts and see whether a vote for Bush would truly make a draft less likely.
