"...The return of Marine Reserve combat battalions to Iraq would begin in 2008, according to a senior Marine officer who discussed the subject on condition he not be identified because no official announcement has been made. Thus, the first picked to go back probably would be remobilized next year to train for the mission.

The plan, put forward by Gen. Michael Hagee, the Marine commandant, could be modified as the situation in Iraq changes, officials said. For planning purposes, the Marines are working out future force rotations that would include at least one Reserve combat battalion starting in 2008.

If it happens in 2007, it would be called a 'build-up'. So why talk about 2008 now? Unless Allied troops moving towards Al Basrah today is important...............FRegards

Good morning. You sure have been busy.

This Ahmedinanutjob guy says he speaks for God. It would be hilarious if he didn't want a nuke so bad. Just like the little ronery dog eating mutant chia pet in N. Korea. Plus, we got to kill more terrorists in Iraq, and Afghanistan. Did I forget to mention that Castro wannabe in Venezuela?

So much to do, so little time.
