I agree with you, that I don't think the draft is going to happen in the US for the Iraq war anytime soon.
but that quote bugs me. Do you actually think Bush would say "Well, I'm thinking about the draft."
f*ck no. There would be so much uprisal against it. Thats why I think, if it does ever happen, it will be an overnight thing. Not an ongoing "Its coming" sort of situation. Because that gives people time to leave the country, or declare religious reasons. And the more that have time to do that, the less that get drafted.
So all in all, Saying they are thinking of a draft, or might have a draft, or a draft will possibly come, would be the single stupidest thing, Bush has ever done. It would be presidential suicide. Figuratively.
