McCain Supports The Draft For World War Three!

Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 08:30:52 AM PDT

HuffingtonPost reports that John McCain said at a teletownhall last night regarding the draft in the possibility of World War III:

Asked about that possibility by a potential voter in Florida during a telephone "town hall meeting," McCain said: "I don't know what would make a draft happen unless we were in an all-out World War III." ...

And given McCain's recent saber-rattling on Iran, his support for the draft in case of a World War III, makes John McCain unfit to be President of the United States. The current White House resident, George W. Bush, has said the likelihood of World War III would come from Iran:

"Last October, President Bush himself warned of a coming 'World War III' with Iran. 'I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III,' said the President. 'It seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.'"

If anyone were to vote for McCain, they'd be supporting World War III against Iran and the reinstatement of a national draft. This should bring the youth vote even more heavily into Obama's favor.
