folks thought that there was no way Bush would really push for a war in Iraq... we were still in Afghanistan, with international good will - the rest of the world would be against it, and polls of americans said support for the US taking action alone was about 28%.

And folks thought, from a fiscal standpoint, pushing for more and deeper tax cuts in a time of war would never be pursued - because it was fiscal lunacy...

Point is - this administrationn does not act in sane ways.

There will be no draft, IF, there is no intent to pursue more wars. Which would be the sane thing since we have no manpower for more endeavors. But the neocons are upping the rhetoric against THREE countries. It is insane. But they seem not to be bound by previous conventional wisdom of what is sane and what is insane. This is the problem of ruling by ideology.

So you may be right - but do not count on "no draft" because it would be "insane" for bushco to pursue it.
