Well, its high time we moved out of Germany anyway, since the cold war is over.

probelm is, were not moving back home, were moving elsewhere where we shouldnt be.

You are seeing the Military Industrial Industry driving it's campaigns for war. They make war in order to make profit. They have to. That is real big business. Just ask Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush.

They all know very well.

They know that the bases need to be more fruitful to their own initutives.

I think that this type of insider trading is the worst of all.

That is what this is.

It is a sick way of running the system.

Any time there is a power vacuum it always attracts the most dirt.

This is a dirty situation.

We seem to be cleaning things up, but we are only sucking up own own demise. One day we will be overloaded, and we will explode.

The vacuum will be gone and the mess will be our fault.

We need to stop these corruptors.

They light the fire, and they corrupt aganist us all.

They are the ones spoken of below.

Only God loves them.

Don't listen to the Sura.

It lies.

Allah loves all.

all i know about the base changes and withdrawls is that they've been in the works for sometime. not the last week type of some time, lets try on the last few years. at first i thought this all nothin more than a repositioning, but with all the battles goin on right now, and the war on terror, this all seems to be something more. i know a larger reason for the move south in SK is that out of the two thousand or so artillary pieces on the north side of the dmz, they could all hit up our forces pretty hard. if we move south then seoul is in the way, and the coriolis effect would put a lot of the shells into the middle of the oceans and seas and stuff over there. i think that if we had to invade the north, instead of pulling a large scale land invasion like in iraq, we'd probably try a naval landing. normandy style ya? that's the last thing people would expect. we still have a large number of landers, and we could get them over there pretty quickly. this whole NK thing is too much speculation, and it's confusing to know what exactly will happen.

As many of you remember it has not been that long ago since we pulled out of Saudi Arabia and now we are moving in South Korea Story here:.

they've been in korea since the 50's

After reading an article in last weeks paper senior members of the British armed forces are openly stating that we would be unable to mount any large scale war for numerous months due to lack of all ranges of munitions and rotation of forces.
how would we have coped against an equal foe?

With us getting out of Saudi, it should give back some needed credibility for the Saudi royals...(the Saudi populace were never thrilled with the royals allowing us to be there in the first place). Of course, it's almost equally likely, that without us there, they may just be ousted after all...

Getting out of Germany is long overdue...they don't want us there, and with the end of the cold war, there's no longer a need.

As for finding Saddam...it really isn't (was never) needed. the removal of his regime was the goal, and it was accomplished. Osama, however, is another matter entirely. With him still free, the threat is still there (unlike with Saddam).
