| sspadowsky | McClain, are you in any danger of being recalled? I don't know how long you've been back to civilian life. |

| mburbank | I believe the old expression was 'cannon fodder' but 'ammo in the magazine' has a nice, updated ring to it. Respectful. |

| McClain | Not just American soldiers exactly, but National Guard and Reserves. |

| Grislygus | Not human bodies exactly, just American soldiers. |

| mburbank | I think it's cue that by "ammo in the magazine" he is reffering not just to actual ammo, but human bodies. |

| Grislygus | "Ammo in the magazine". What a comforting thought. |

Current plan calls for US troops in Iraq 'till 2010 Army: Troops to Stay in Iraq Until 2010 By Lolita C. Baldor The Associated Press Wednesday 11 October 2006 Washington - The U.S. Army has plans to keep the current level of soldiers in Iraq through 2010, the top Army officer said Wednesday, a later date than Bush administration or Pentagon officials have mentioned thus far. The Army chief of staff, Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, cautioned against reading too much into the planning, saying troops levels could be adjusted to actual conditions in Iraq. He said it is easier to hold back forces scheduled to go there than to prepare and deploy units at the last minute. "This is not a prediction that things are going poorly or better," Schoomaker told reporters. "It's just that I have to have enough ammo in the magazine that I can continue to shoot as long as they want us to shoot." |
