How about we just re-station all our Nato troops out of Germany and into, say, England?

I think Porugal, Italy and Turkey would make more sense. We are unlikely to be fighting in northern Europe anytime soon, but do need logistics close to an enroute the the millde-east. And those three countries have been supportive against Iraq.

So you think Saddam poses the same threat as Hitler? What a laughable comparison.

You're right. Hiltler was never as great a threat as Saddam. No way could Hitler ever have destroyed entire American cities in a day. Saddam will have that capability soon.

Let's pull all our forces out of Germany and leave Germany to the sissies and liberals. This country is no longer our friend.

I'm really glad (sarcasm) we bailed his a$$ out of a jam when we took care of the mess in Serbia a few years back!! Things were just a bit too dicey for the Germans to get involved. You know, lots of relatives and economics....that sort of thing. So the Germans left it up the the Americans to help them deal with the Balkan mess. Notice how he is returning the favor by coming to our aid in Iraq??? Yea, me neither.

What a jag.

Unless there's a national security threat, we should pull our bases from Germany and put them in Poland. This type of diatribe is ridiculous.

Pull our troops out of Germany. It's not like we need them there anymore in case the Russkies invade.

Yeah, but that means the Russkies would have to invade Poland again. Move the bases to Poland instead and keep the Krauts and the Russkies away.

And with the way we are courting eastern Europe (cf Rumsfeld speech given today in Poland, not Germany), this would dovetail very nicely with apparent policy. Though I'm still not sure why we need troops in Germany or Poland, now that the Russkies are not likely to be invading anybody who isn't harboring Chechens.
