Hi Karen Lawrence; Like I've been saying, there can be no real war in Iraq without a massive callup. So far, I haven't seen it. Figures show the level of activated reserves, as of January 15th, are now at 58,894. The peak was this past summer at 85,592 (see #reply-18449379 ).

Until they actually call up the reserves, I see no way for us to have a war. And since the reserves are the longest lead time item required for a war, every day that a massive (i.e. 100,000 more activations) callup is delayed is another day that peace has still won out.
