AUDIENCE MEMBER: If we don't reenact the draft I don't think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell.

MCCAIN: Ma'am let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said, and thank you ...

Here's what McCain said when asked about the draft in June:

"I don't know what would make a draft happen unless we were in an all-out World War III." ...

It's certainly possible McCain had a senior moment and didn't realize he was essentially agreeing with the woman about needing to bring back the draft. But what if he does genuinely agree with her? Shouldn't we have the know the answer to that question?
