Rangel specifically said the legislation is designed to be used “during time of war.” On the day before Rangel’s slavery bill went to the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel, Texas Rep. Louis Buller Gohmert introduced House Resolution 1553. It has since been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
“Expressing support for the State of Israel’s right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time to protect against such an immediate and existential threat to the State of Israel,” Gohmert’s resolution states.
Language contained in the resolution condemns Iran “for its threats of annihilating the United States and the State of Israel” (threats Iran has never issued) and supports the use of “all means of persuading the Government of Iran to stop building and acquiring nuclear weapons” (nuclear weapons Iran does not have and does not possess the capability to produce). Gohmert’s bill supports Israel’s “right” to use “all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by Iran.”
Next time I recommend an unbiased article.
Whats biased about it? Because its from Alex Jones' website? Mentions Israel? Or did it hurt your feelings?
Then dont read it.

Seriously man, Alex Jones is.
So yea an unbiased or non crazy source would be better.

Yes, because its a website ran by a conspiracy nut.
Yes, because its a website that focuses on conspiracy nut stories.
Yes, because its a website whose conspiracy nut theories typically never pan out because they're conspiracy nut theories.
Yes, because its a conspiracy nut website that uses idiotic conspiracy nut hyperbolic language such as "slavery bill" which is on par with suggesting a site isn't biased if they referred to the Stimulus Package as the Porkulus Package.
Yes, because its a conspiracy nut story litered with nothing but bitter conspiracy nut rants based on nothing but giant hyperbole and questionable facts such as equating the Bush administration to nazi's.
Yes, because its a conspiracy nut story who apparently doesn't realize its not 2007 anymore as he tries to give evidence from 2007 as "proof" of what's going on today.
Yes, because its a conspiracy nut story whose using 3 year old information and a random guy from the govenrment in question rather than numerous RECENT reports from actual respected sources concerning Iran's nuclear potential
Yes, because its a conspiracy nut story who declares their personal opinion on an issue as absolute fact in regards to the "translation" issue and what was meant by the Iranian leader
So yeah, I see lots of legitimate reasons why its a complete and utter biased story filled with hyperbole, personal opinion presented as facts, and conspiracy loonecy that is about as worthy of legitimate care as any random story posted on the DailyKOS, WND, or the Weekly World News.

Rangel Again Calls for Military DraftRep. Charles Rangel is again calling for a military draft to highlight the fact that relatively few families are bearing a disproportionate burden in fighting the nation's wars. {snip} Rangel said lawmakers who support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan should require "all who enjoy the benefits of our democracy to contribute to the defense of the country."
TheHat said: I think it is quite telling, that Charlie Rangel, a Democrat, wants to do this. It is the Democrats who were claiming that the GOP wanted to institute the draft again, back in 2008, hell, it was Rangel himself saying this. Then he presents, a draft bill himself???? If you ask me, the man is a few bricks short of a house.
Excuse me mod.
Is this not the partisan news section? Where partisanship is the main ingredient?
Why are people complaining about partisan articles, in the partisan section?
Lets discuss the subject here, we all know this is the partisan section, its understood no?

Ah yes the Chicken****, Chickenhawks in government want more war and some slavery to add flavor. Now of course the spoiled brats of these scum will find a way to avoid combat you know since war is to left to us lowly serfs.
The Mandatory Service Bill and the Impending Attack On Iran
Getting past all the hype and bull****....this is just a BAD legislative idea. Forced conscription is a MASSIVE drain on the taxpayers, wont provide any real service, and is absolutely not wanted by the military.
