the German military announced it was pulling forces out of NATO

The Germans are pulling out of Obama's Libyan Police Action? Or the Germans are pulling out of NATO...the latter would be a very big deal indeed.

The Germans are pulling out of Obama's Libyan Police Action?

Yes.

They are taking their ships in the Med that have been on a NATO anti-terror operation out of NATO command.

Germany doesn't want to get sucked into a situation where they will have to use military force to enforce a weapon's blockade NATO is forming against Libya.

They are not pulling out of NATO.
