This is about
as sad as it gets:
In one month, 3000 children died in Iraq; on average, that is 100 per day. Though many are innocent victims of incessant clashes, most succumb to malnourishment and unsanitary living conditions.
Yet Bush continues his lie to the world when he claims Iraq is fine.

DO THE MATH: DESTROYING THE GUARD+DESTROYING THE RESERVES+DESTROYING THE ARMY=DRAFT
Just read:
The real scope of the damage of Mr. Rumsfeld's decision to send the Guard to Iraq – 40% of the American troops in Iraq are now reservists or Guardsmen – will probably not be revealed until units return. One of the few already back saw 70% of its members leave the Guard immediately.
Now how do you expect we are going to replace those Guardsmen? We fell WAY short in our recruitment goal.
The
war is getting worse.
We don't have enough troops.
Gang, we at the Rat aren't about fear mongering, that's the province of the Bush administration. What we at the Rat ARE about is informing you. The focus we been having on the draft is to point out the tell tale signs of the inevitable.
Do the math.

"The security situation is a joke, the press are shutting down and pulling out and our beloved exiles are painting rosey pictures for the American public- you know- so everyone who voted for Bush can sleep at night."-

VOTER REGISTRATION UP!!!!
Gang as we at the Rat have been saying for a long while. Don't pay attention to polls. They are misleading and seriously flawed. We at the Rat have been saying this election is about one thing:
VOTER TURNOUT!
The only number we been wanting to hear has been voter registration numbers. In
tommorow's NY Times we get the first story (That I have seen) about voter registration. The news was what we expected:
"A sweeping voter registration campaign in heavily Democratic areas has added tens of thousands of new voters to the rolls in the swing states of Ohio and Florida, a surge that has far exceeded the efforts of Republicans in both states, a review of registration data shows.
The analysis by The New York Times of county-by-county data shows that in Democratic areas of Ohio - primarily low-income and minority neighborhoods - new registrations since January have risen 250 percent over the same period in 2000. In comparison, new registrations have increased just 25 percent in Republican areas. A similar pattern is apparent in Florida: in the strongest Democratic areas, the pace of new registration is 60 percent higher than in 2000, while it has risen just 12 percent in the heaviest Republican areas."
So if your a Democrat or just hate Bush, Get registered!
If your a Republican and believe in fantasyland as the pResident we encourage you to stay home. All is well....All is well....

Damn! Every single bloody day I read ANOTHER story that confirms WE WILL have a draft. Yesterday's
story in the NY Times being the latest example:
A Pentagon-appointed panel of outside experts has concluded in a new study that the American military does not have sufficient forces to sustain current and anticipated stability operations, like the festering conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and other missions that might arise.
But wait it gets worse:
In assigning the project to the science board last January, Michael W. Wynne, an under secretary of defense, wrote: "Our military expeditions to Afghanistan and Iraq are unlikely to be the last such excursion in the global war on terrorism. We may need to support an ally under attack by terrorists determined to replace the legitimate government; we may need to effect change in the governance of a country that is blatantly sustaining support for terrorism; or we may need to assist an ally who is unable to govern areas of their own country, where terrorists may recruit, train and plan without interference by the legitimate government."
And finally,
this little Nugget from the Lexington Herald-Leader:
"The Army National Guard will fall 5,000 soldiers short of its recruiting goal this year, in part because fewer in the active-duty force are switching to part-time service, knowing how frequently Guard units are being sent to war zones, the Guard's top general said yesterday.
It will be the first time since 1994 that the Guard has missed its sign-up goal."
Keep sipping that right wing bullshit that were not gonna have a draft. A year from today you will be wishing you belived the Rat.
