US going to relinquish control over occupation to Germany and France, among others? Sounds like they're pulling their tails between their legs and running away yelping.

WASHINGTON -- With American costs and casualties mounting in Iraq, the Bush administration is showing new interest in putting NATO in charge of the military occupation as a way of scaling back the U.S. troop commitment, U.S. and NATO officials say.
