Army Planning for 4 More Years in Iraq

"In an Associated Press interview, Gen. Peter Schoomaker said the Army is prepared for the 'worst case' in terms of the required level of troops in Iraq. He said the number could be adjusted lower if called for by slowing the force rotation or by shortening tours for soldiers."

I wonder if anyone has extrapolated the body count . . .

And that's not even mentioning civilian casualties...

It seams the article is talking about planning for 4 years, but in no way indicates that the U.S. won't be in Iraq after those four years.

That's the mainstream media for you.

I'll be very surprised if we're out of Iraq in a "mere" four years -- the so-called "worst case" scenario.

What a choice! Bush or Kerry.

That's why I chose not to participate in the so-called "vote."
