My bet is that a major reduction of US troops in Germany is a done deal, they just don't know it yet. I totally agree. I don't think we can do it just now because we don't want to show any "linkage". But we don't need this crap off the Germans and I suspect the administration is going to be seeing it that way, as well. They're being naive if they don't think they can be hit.

Ted Re.. France shot down a compromise on Wednesday aimed at breaking NATO's deadlock over planning protection for Turkey in case of a U.S.-led war on Iraq, dashing hopes for an early end to the alliance's damaging crisis.<<< It sounds like nothing will happen until after Friday. While this may get repaired and painted over with a shiny new coat of paint, if you don't get all of the rust off first, it will just show through a little later. Frankly, this will have repercussions later on. My bet is that a major reduction of US troops in Germany is a done deal, they just don't know it yet. You're right......the world has been forever changed. That's why I was so blown away yesterday. ted
