The Return of the Draft

Bush has got to be scrambling for an excuse that won't make him look like a blatant liar when the draft is reinstated. Will the media let him get away with yet another flip flop?
These are totals for the 41 USAREC (Recruiting Command) Battalions, so these stats represent the USAREC mission accomplishment:

Regular Army Volume (all RA contracts):

Mission: 25,322
Achieved: 12,703 (50.17 percent)

Army Reserve Volume:

Mission: 7,373
Achieved: 3,206 (43.48 percent).
