February and No Draft

In 2004, there were predictions on the left-leaning blogs and newsgroups that the US government would re-introduce the draft in order to get more troops for the invasions of Iran, Syria, etc. The timing was said to be February 2005. Well, we are halfway through the month and there is no draft. But there is sabre-rattling over Iran and there are incursions by US special forces into Iran. I would say that war is going ahead anyway without the extra troops. The only thing I can think of is that NATO will be required to provide the troops for the invasion and occupation of Iran.
