“Let me suggest, and the gentleman brings up a very important point, it has been called a stop loss order, but it really is a start the draft order. This is a silent draft. These people are being drafted into service they did not sign up for. They signed up for a definite term and they are now being drafted. They happen to be in Iraq right now, but we are already seeing the implications of the policy as the gentleman has addressed. It comes back and again the Dallas Morning News called it the Iraq Trust Gap, this is the President and his neocon colleagues who were telling us that this war would be simple, we would be welcomed with rose petals, our people would be home in a reasonable period of time, it would not stress our military, we only needed 100,000 troops, there would not be massive looting after we had this amount, there would not be casualties after a period of time, the mission was accomplished back in May 2003. All of these things are appropriately creating a trust gap not only for the President, but for the United States.”
