Yesterday I heard a reporter on NPR interview General Lute, the new War Czar, who said he talks with Bush every day. When asked whether he thought a draft made sense, not from a political perspective, but from a military one, he answered that a draft has always been "on the table" as a tool to protect the nation "by one means or another."
Steve Benen at TPM reports that the answer caused a stink and will probably be the last time we hear directly from General Lute.
I'd agree with his reasoning, but I'd say it may be the second-to-last time. The last time will be when General Lute "clears up" that statement.
