"THE RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY IS SUSPICIOUS OF THE PENTAGON'S TRUE MOTIVES FOR RELOCATING 16 AIR BASES FROM GERMANY TO POLAND."

What ? 16 (!) AIR BASES FROM GERMANY TO POLAND ? Do Americans at least have 16 air bases in Germany ? I doubt it. It's just Russian paranoia.

The US have currently only two air bases left in Germany: Spangdahlem and Ramstein. It is not likely that they are moved east, because the US invested much too much into the real big infrastructure.

The funny thing is, that a vast majority of the Germans do not want to keep the bases anymore, because they are strategic important for all American actions in the middle east and elsewhere. I think it is no secret, that the German people do not support the Iraq war or other millitary actions of the US. Therefore it would be politically the best solution to relocate them to Poland or into other parts of "new" Europe, where the inhabitans are much more pro US and pro Bush. But - as I said before - this will not happen since even the US have problems to finance such an expense.
