U.S. to Withdraw Most Forces From Iceland

REYKJAVIK, Iceland -- The United States, which has long provided Iceland with its only military forces, has decided to withdraw most of its service members and all of its fighter jets and helicopters from the country later this year, the U.S. ambassador said Thursday.
Iceland's government, which recently had offered to take over some of the cost of its defense from the United States to keep U.S. forces here, said it regretted the decision.
In an interview with The Associated Press, U.S. Ambassador Carol van Voorst said she and Nicholas Burns, the U.S. under secretary of state, had informed Iceland's Prime Minister Haldor Asgrimsson and Foreign Minister Geir H. Haarde of the unilateral decision on Wednesday.
DU is absolutely disgusting right now.
Nah....I'm just not right in the head. LOL
We can only hope......prayers for all of our troops!
Yeah, believe me, I'm well aware of OPSEC! Was asking if any one "heard" of other units involved, which would mean it was being reported already more than likely.
Iraq the Model wrote this on Friday: "A few days ago I read a short report on the al-Bayina al-Jadida newspaper that mentioned that Zarqawi had moved to the outskirts of Salahiddin and sought hide in the Himreen Mountains (these are technically hills lying Northeast of Salahiddin, southeast of Kirkuk and extend to the Iranian borders where they merge with Zagrus Mountains) for about a month before fleeing to Afghanistan through Iran.
And from the same bit.. "Sheikh Usama said . .. 'We have rid about 90% of the province of Zaraqwi's criminal thugs and we are coordinating our work with the ministries of defense and interior and we had several meetings with Iraqi officials as well as General Casey. Now we believe Zarqawi had escaped to Salahiddin province and we are cooperating with the tribes of Salahiddin to find out where this criminal is hiding.'"
Zarqawi hiding in the region
"Right now" and forever. Stay here for optimism.
LOL! I won't go over there. Then I'll have to take another shower! :/
David Gregory asks if this air assualt was to help Bush's poll numbers..
Yes.
Well... at least *we* didn't say it... LOL.
Your dispatches from there have been wonderful!
Sounds like he's keeping his "reputation" alive (if that's true).
Too bad the RINO's won't allow the "white flag" ad to be run again on TV
Pass this "white flag" ad from Dec 2005 around on the internet, it's from gop.com

At least gop.com has not been taken over by the RINO's!
David Gregory is such a tool. He just asked Scott if the president ordered this assault to raise public opinion.
