Looks like Rummy is getting his way in Korea. Go South... news.bbc.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------- US army to move S Korea base South Korea is home to about 37,000 US troops The US military is to move its main base in South Korea from the capital, Seoul, to a new location inside the country as part of its global redeployment of forces. The announcement follows two days of talks between Richard Lawless, US deputy assistant secretary of defence for East Asia, and South Korea's assistant defence minister for policy, Cha Young-koo. Both sides have stressed that the redeployment of troops from the Yongsan garrison will not affect their ability to deter North Korea - currently the source of tensions in the region because of its nuclear programme. "The two sides agreed that there would be no compromise on the combined deterrence of their forces throughout the process of realignment," said a joint statement issued on Wednesday. South Korea's new President, Roh Moo-hyun, has also announced he will visit US President George W Bush in Washington next month for their first face-to-face talks on the North Korean crisis.
