Just Thought You Should Know, They're Ready for Us

Well, if this isn't a sign of bad things on the horizon, I don't know what is. From CNN:

"The Selective Service System, an agency independent of the Defense Department, says it's ready to respond quickly to any crisis that would threaten to overwhelm the current all-volunteer military.

'We're the fire department,' said spokesman Pat Schuback at the service headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. 'We're prepared to do the mission with whatever time period we're asked to do it in. Our current plan is 193 days and that was based on manpower analysis.' "

The fire department? Nice one. Even if you are fully, 100% ready to implement, why would you give a press conference to let everybody know? Probably because word has come down from the top to start preparing the public for dire possibilities. Thank god Rumsfeld's out. Otherwise, I think we'd be marching off to North Korea tomorrow. Let's hope not.
