McCaskill: Russia war would mean draft

From the AP:

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Palin's suggestion of war with Russia "sent chills down my spine." "I'm not sure that Gov. Palin understands that right now, if that were to occur, we would have to institute a massive draft," McCaskill said.

To be fair to Palin, all she was doing was stating the consequence of the NATO treaty, should Georgia be admitted.

But one of the rules of talking about NATO enlargement -- followed by McCain and Obama -- has generally been not explicitly discussing war with Russia, and indeed sometimes insisting to the Russians (a bit implausibly, perhaps) that it's not about them.

UPDATE: RNC communications director Danny Diaz responds, ad feminam: "Claire McCaskill’s penchant to say absurd and ridiculous things has now reached Bidenesque levels."
