The military has undoubtedly been having regular meetings on the status of the reserves since they were called up a year ago. Undoubtedly. But that's not what was said. The reference was to the call-up of potentially a quarter million Reservists for a conflict with Iraq, which you've steadfastly claimed we have no intention of waging, in the short order. The first 10,000 this month or next to provide base security here in the States and overseas. Which means the units at those bases are being shipped out to a warzone. That's the usual drill, is it not? That's what we did in GWI, isn't it? I'm adding your link to the predictions of war in January. If you've got a particular date in mind, post it to me. You can be as crufty as you want to be and put me in your straw man with everyone else. We'll see what happens. And if events don't transpire as many seem to see things heading, it won't be because of your stated reason that we had no intention of doing so in the first place. Derek
