The US definitely does not have enough troops in Iraq. Possibly the British are thin on the ground in their zone too, so they're bringing in the Weekend Soldiers. Whether it means an imminent attack on Iran... Possible, but a little too early to say for sure.
I remember a Billy Connolly song:
"And all you left-wing radicals
Don't give us any of your cheek
And start the revolution on a Saturday
'Cos I have to work through the week."

I don't think it's that suspicious. I know that there are plans to move TA units to the Balkans in order to allow regular troops to go to Iraq to relieve the other poor buggers. But I don't know about more war plans.
If anywhere's next, it's probably Syria - attacking Iran would be completely impolitic as it makes the whole thing look more and more like a war against Islam, and even if that is the case, I think Bush will wait till after the 2004 elections before he tries anything like that...
