I already don't like this guy. I have a 15 y/o son and if we reinstate the draft then he and I are seeking refuge in Canada.

Sunday, November 19, 2006; 4:11 PMWASHINGTON -- Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 if the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has his way.
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars and to bolster U.S. troop levels insufficient to cover potential future action in Iran, North Korea and Iraq.

Fierce fighting between insurgents and U.S. and Iraqi forces sent many residents fleeing inside as the sound of machine gun fire and rocket-propelled grenades rocked the city. Three Iraqi policemen were killed and three wounded, and one insurgent was killed and two suspected ones detained, the coalition said. (AP Photo) (AP)
