Just when you thought Rep. Charles Rangel, D-NY was wacky enough, he out does even himself. Rangel wants to bring back the draft.
He doesn't want to do it because he feels it is necessary to conquer the forces of evil. No, he just wants to do it to stir up controversy over this whole 'War with Iraq' and 'Axis of Evil' predicament.
It would seem that voting against Iraq wasn't enough for Rangel. Rather than accept the fact that he was outvoted on the issue, he wants to throw a curve ball to try to derail the whole operations. (I know, metaphor alert)
Peaceniks like Rangel have been having a tough time with the anti-war movement. Part of that is because the military is solidly in favor of taking action to stave off another terror attack. I guess Rangel feels that if he could draft some 1-A peaceniks into the army, his anti-war movement would have more support from the military.
What a moroon.
