7. I am considering your reasons and neither make sense:
1. It would make it easier to win the war.
How would having conscripts make it easier to train Iraqi forces?

2. It would lessen the burden on soldiers that have been fighting it for several years.
Just increasing the size of the military would do that, whether there was a draft or not....
most folks seem to forget that the active duty Army of the 1980's was about 65% larger than it is now, (and enlistment standards were a helluva lot lower).
