Here's how we fix this.

The government already has the list for the Draft - Let's start with every group of College Republicans across the U.S. Have soldiers conduct a poll: Are you for the Iraq war? Take the results and compile them. Surely there must be tons of support, at least a few million, right? Draft them. I don't care if they've got a boil on their ass or not, draft them. Don't warn them either. Let the Armed Forces simply show up at their apartments and pick them up. Don't give them the chance to skip town. As we deploy the College Republicans to Iraq, we can start bringing the overworked, overstressed, underpaid, unarmored State National Guard units home. These units were never designed to be deployed beyond state borders really, much less the Baghdad Airport. They want to find their families, friends and communities. They want to help at home I'm sure, and it's a task they were actually designed to be performing. Imagine that. Start by bringing Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama units home first. Let the chickenhawks fight this war, and let our National Guard units Guard our nation - here, where they belong.

I'm just getting started. Wait til I have more time to start formulating a bigger plan. The words INDICT, IMPEACH, IMPRISON, and TRIBUNAL just might make an appearance. Anyone agree? Disagree?

2. Never happen.

Poor democrats fight wars, not wealthy republicans. They just start them.

3. Revised & added.

How do we begin to save the hurricane ravaged areas of the South while our resources are stretched razor thin in Iraq? I’ve got an idea. Have soldiers conduct a poll: Are you for the Iraq war? Let's start with every group of College Republicans across the U.S. Why start there? We should start there because the Republicans of this country (with support from many cowardly Dems) called for the start of this war, surely they would support it, right? Judging by the number of SUV’s with ‘W’ stickers and ‘Support Our Troops’ ribbons on them, I’d say there are many in this category. Take the results of the poll and compile them. From what I see on Fox News, there must be millions in favor of the Iraq war. Take the ‘Yes’es and draft them. I don't care if they've got a boil on their ass or not (ala Rush Limbaugh), draft them. Don't warn them either. Let the Armed Forces simply show up at their apartments and pick them up. Don't give them the chance to skip town. As we deploy the College Republicans to Iraq, we can start bringing the overworked, overstressed, shell-shocked, underpaid, unarmored State National Guard units home. These units were never designed to be deployed beyond state borders, much less at the Baghdad Airport. They want to find their families, friends and communities. They want to help at home, and it's a task they were actually designed to be performing. Imagine that. Start by bringing Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama units home first. Let the chickenhawks fight this war, and let our National Guard units Guard our nation - here, where they belong.

Now I know a lot of people (mostly those who describe themselves “conservative”) will be mad at me. I’m perfectly fine with that. However, it’s about time we start putting our money where our mouth is as a nation. According to Republican mantra, any person who is anti-war does not ‘Support the Troops’. Is that really so? Let’s take the poll in my scenario and find out just how much Republicans support the troops. Maybe they would say that’s not a fair poll. Maybe I should consider another scenario: what would happen if the College Republicans knew the poll results were to be used for draft purposes? Contrary to what I’m bombarded with in the ‘liberal media’, I suspect a lot more votes would be ‘No’. Then let’s ask Ken Mehlman whether the ‘No’ voting CR’s ‘Support our Troops’ or not. Would the ‘No’ voting, non-war supporting College Republicans ‘hate America’? That’s what I’ve been hearing about the anti-war demonstrators in Crawford this August. I can already hear the tune changing.

4. excellent idea!

Think of the gas we would save with all those SUVs parked!
Seriously, My wife is Canadian, and I had to 'splain her the concept of the National Guard. It is NOT the INTERNATIONAL guard. It is not a group of people assembled to invade other countries. The National guard are regular folks, that give up their time, and are suppossed to protect us at home if the sh*t hits the fan. It is way beyond that in NO.
I wonder how many folks they could have gotten out before the hurricane. How many doors did they bang on?
I am from Florida, and when there is an order to evacuate they come around and bang on your door. If you refuse to evacuate, they make you sign a waiver saying if you die, they are not responsible.
Believe me, alot of people evacuate then! How much effort was there in New Orleans?
And why did they not get those folks out of there??????
