Seriuosly, Who can imagine the Stones working for months on a new album? I can't believe how much time they spent on Voodoo Lounge, but that was the last time. They record for a month and thats all, they did the 4 songs on 40licks in 3 weeks, inc. mix! That old times are in the past, sadly...

I can't see a US tour this year really, many acts on the road at the same time and the Stones played there less than 2 years ago (I'm not counting the Toronto Rocks show), and the same goes for Europe, I think that is too soon to tour that markets, they can play in South America at the end of this year and US/Europe in 2006, IMO.
