ANOTHER THREE YEARS?
The Army's top general told Congress he is planning for the possibility of being required to rotate a large force in and out of Iraq for another three years.

Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, the Army chief of staff, told the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday that ''for planning purposes'' he told his staff to consider how the Army would replace the force now rotating into Iraq with another force of similar size in 2005 and again in 2006.
