Bush stumbles on military draft *link fixed*
He was expecting the crowd (who had signed agreements that they would) to cheer him on after this sentence. Some people smiled, then frowned. Others looked confused. Finally, one person shouted out "Yes we will!". Thank goodness Bush was corrected by Farmer Brown.
Of course, it is a simple one-word mistake. However, it is a volatile issue, and a slip up like this can provoke the media.
"My opponent seems to be willing to say almost anything he thinks will benefit him politically," he said. "After standing on the stage, after the debates, I made it very plain we will not have an all-volunteer army."
