The
Financial Times is reporting that Bush will announce troop pull-outs from Europe and Asia at a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Cincinnati this coming Monday:
The US is expected to announce on Monday that it is pulling 70,000 troops out of Europe and Asia in the largest restructuring of its global military presence since the second world war.
People briefed on the plan say two-thirds of the reductions will come in Europe, most of them military personnel stationed in Germany who will be sent back to U.S. bases.
One wonders how long they'll stay there?
