The troop levels where supposed to start coming down along with base closings in Germany, during the GWB Administration. I have the same question.
It could simply be because of things heating up in Georgia, after the Russians started to play games, and we sent in support the Georgians.
Then again, perhaps not.
And as for European military putting feet on the ground in Libya. Same sentiment.

None of the European nations will move on Libya militarily, even with something like a no-fly zone, without at least the tacit approval of the USA. And Hillary and your State department don’t want it, do they?
