Slate.com: If Obama Loses, racism is the only reason McCain might beat him

public library does have an access to those databases - usually in cities or at bigger libraries. if it's a small-town library... chance is slim to none.

Some Academic Data bases cannot be accessed without university affiliation, and many will charge if you do not have university afffilliation.

Right now I am not looking for anything specific. It was debate about how reliable Wiki is.

The argument was did Colin Powell considered candidate for presidency but declined. On wiki its stated but not why.

Also maybe you can research to validate information about 1900-2008, how many wars USA has been involved with. And who was the president that declared the war (include the party status).

Remember only President can say declare war if he has full permission from Congress. The congress cannot declare war if president does not. That why they call president "commander of chief".

Two topic of interested - war history with president/party. And Colin Powell's reason of waive ticket to president.

I'll take a look.

Veterans React to McCain's Admission That He'll Need a Military Draft

By VoteVets.org | Press Release


PUBLISHED: August 20, 2008
WASHINGTON – Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans today reacted to John McCain’s statement that he doesn’t disagree that we would need a military draft to do everything he wants. At a town hall in Las Cruces, NM, a woman said she could not see doing everything McCain wanted, and would not have the troops under his plan to follow Osama bin Laden to the “gates of hell” without a draft. In response, McCain said, “I don’t disagree with anything you said.” The video of that can be viewed here: YouTube - John McCain: Town Hall 08/20/08
Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org said, “At least Senator McCain is being honest. A vote for him is a vote for the draft. Period. Unless Senator McCain radically changes his worldview, there would be a draft to implement his plans.”
Soltz added, “When you take into account his indefinite military commitment to Iraq, his desire to send more troops to Afghanistan, record lows in recruiting and retention, and possibly more wars he is looking to get into, like “Bomb Bomb Bomb” Iran, his numbers don’t add up without a draft. Whether America likes it or not isn’t relevant – a draft is the only way to do everything Senator McCain wants to do. I give him points for being honest and upfront, though, that we’re going to need a draft if he is elected.”
This isn’t the first time that Senator McCain has hinted at a reinstitution of the draft if he is elected. Asked on September 29, 2007 in New Hampshire about the draft, McCain said he would, “consider it.”

And the point would be?

I thought you were going to come up with some valid points, instead of playing around with the the usual mindless propoganda.

Care to comment regarding the verterans' statement in the above post?

no idea. just for a laugh, I guess? my friend (an Obama voter) sent me that link just now and I thought I'd share.

as for veterans' statement... nope no comment. If it happens, then it happens... which I doubt it'll ever happen. but if it did happen.. maybe it's for good. People's become too soft and took "freedom & democracy" for granted. Maybe it's time to kick their ass and remind them of the price that our founding fathers and their fellow countrymen to build America. ignore me. i'm just rambling . again.... no comment.
