Biden Gaffe Is Likely A Warning That Obama Will Impose The Draft Shortly If He Takes Office! - www.hillaryclintonforum.net

I see your point. I do feel that Biden is known for saying absurd things and people just brush them off as "oh that's just Joe being Joe." So this could be one of those cases.

I do however, feel that his prediction could very well turn out to be accurate. The dictators of the world-- Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il etc... are going to want to see what they can get away with with a dove in the White House. So they are probably going to push the envelope a little bit to test the waters.

There will be some pressure on Obama at that point to respond forcefully, to prove to those who didnt vote for him and to the rest of the world that he is an ex-harvard guest lecturer/senator with a set of balls. Whether he will go along with this is debatable.
