Lets hear it for Eastern Europe! NEW YORK TIMES >>>> The roles of many countries in support of the American war effort are coming to light only now. Two Eastern European countries eager to join NATO quickly offered logistics bases when Turkey blocked the Pentagon's request to base support planes on its soil. Romania permitted the American military to fly troops, cargo, fuel and vehicles from Europe aboard C-130, C-141 and C-17 transport planes from an air base near the Black Sea port of Constanta. Eight to 10 planes fly missions to Iraq from the base. About 200 miles to the south, in Burgas, Bulgaria, the authorities opened a training camp and adjacent airfield to 400 Air Force personnel and six KC-10 refueling planes. Before the war started, 900 Army troops established a training camp for Iraqi exiles at Taszar in Hungary, a new NATO member. The Iraqis were dispatched to serve as guides, interpreters and scouts for American ground troops in Iraq.<<<<http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/20/international/worldspecial/20BASE.html?th=&pagewanted=print&position=
