"According to The Observer and the New York Times..."



Yet another effort by the NYT to stir trouble in our foreign affairs by releasing classified and/or false information.

"According to The Observer and the New York Times, American troops in Germany - and the billions of dollars in goods and services they consume locally - will be moved further east to the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltic states"




Millions of us veterans are especially amazed at how Reagan changed our world.

This has to be reported properly:

"Americans RETREAT from Europe!

Bowing to pressure from democrats GWBush withdrew troops from Europe. Despite denials from the Administrations, confidential sources from inside the WH inteligence stated 'the whole post WWII occupation of europe has been a disaster.' "

Why do we need bases in Germany or Eastern Europe anyway?

They probably costs a ton of money and provide no real benefit.

Germany proved to be an unreliable ally. Eastern europe jumped in to help with the heavy lifting in iraq. Pay back time.

High time we cleared out of Germany, since they're so anti-American. Why should they reap the economic benefits of having US bases there?

Wait till the US soliders get a look at the women in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, and the Baltic states.

According to The Observer and the New York Times, American troops in Germany - and the billions of dollars in goods and services they consume locally - will be moved further east to the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltic states. This shift may have come regardless of the German "betrayal". The Pentagon has long been contemplating the futility of stationing tens of thousands of soldiers in the world's most peaceful and pacifistic country.

Yeah, those pacifist Germans. They never start wars do they? Not like those warmongering Swiss! < / sarc>

On a more serious note, we *ought* to reward Poland for being a surprisingly good ally (surprising because of their communist past, not because the Polish people are poor allies). They should have at least one of our bases.

Indeed, supporting the United States was seen by the smaller countries of the EU as a neat way to counterbalance Germany's worrisome economic might and France's often self-delusional aspirations at helmsmanship

I can't believe FDR got us into WWII without an exit plan.

to have so overtly and blatantly abandoned Germany in its time of need would surely prove to be a costly miscalculation.

Where has Germany been in our times of need?

Huh? I guess they forgot about the Neo-Nazis.

Pacifistic? Only when it comes to the US. They were ready to cave to the USSR (the general public, at least) rather than have us station Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles there in the '80s.

Their beer however is superb.
