McCain Agrees With Questioner Who Calls for Military Draft

From ThinkProgress.org:

During a townhall meeting yesterday, an audience member asked a long-winded question that ended with a call to enact the military draft in order to “chase bin Laden to the gates of Hell.” McCain immediately replied, “I don’t disagree with anything you said.”


And apparently a heavily biased media is giving McCain a free pass on essentially either agreeing with a military draft or not have the mental alertness to express his real feelings on the matter.

Further, McCain has never been enthusiastic about pursuing Bin Laden anywhere, preferring in 2002 and 2003 to push for war in Iraq and to leave pursuit of the people responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks for another day.
