WAR: US To Withdraw 70,000 Troops

Officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told sources that the United States would be pulling 70,000 troops out of Asia and Europe. It was told he would be attempting to majorly recontruct the military due to the War on Terror.



Currently the are more than 150,000 troops in the Middle East, not including th 100,000 in Asia, 100,000 in Europe, and the 70,000 in Germany.

While some troops will be brought home, fighter planes and other sophisticated weaponry will be taking their place. It is the plan to use bases in eastern Europe as a transit point so simplify the deployment of soldiers to places like the Middle East and Africa.

It is said that President Bush will be making this announcement at a press conference on Monday. The Financial Times, a British newspaper, had a confirmed report of the reduction of the troops stating that the reduction would occur in Europe, mainly in Germany.

I think this is a good move...finally. I didn't read anything about where they will be relocating these people though.

The report states that troops will come home with fighter bombers and other weapons taking their place and some will be relocated to bases in "eastern Europe countries of the former Soviet bloc"

Funny, they just said that they are moving the troops in response to terrorist threats.
