The oracle speaks

If Bush wins in November, look for the draft to restart by the end of 2005. Dollars to donuts says they’d really like to switch it on right now, but for the precipitous popularity drop it would guarantee. But if an overconfident neocon administration (check) thinks that, with an inexhaustible supply of fresh troops and techs, it could finally meet all its international burnination objectives within a couple of years and seal up a Cheney (or whomever) win in 2008, I bet that it would gleefully take the risk.

Think you’re too old? But you’re a hacker, eh? Uh-oh...

Oh, it all fits now:
first, they open up trade negotiations with India, the trade partnership goes well and sucks all the tech jobs out of the US, thousands of tech trained men and women (all young enough to serve) wander around looking for a way to feed themselves, in steps the government to snatch them up willingly at first, and by draft if necessary later.

I never give the Bush administration enough credit as to imagine they could be smart enough to pull some of those conspiracy theories out there - but it's really frustrating to see coincidence fall in favor with that pack of fools. They're like retarded salvage workers who work part time as light-house operators: they salvage the ships they sink with their stupidity.
