What makes you think that we will retain the right to use these bases?

We have been cultivating other entities in the area, with respect to "bases". Perhaps we shall see some movement on these things. NATO without the US would wither on the vine.

Not sure the 'public' EVER gets tired of a dim talking down to them - after all Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham and Al Gore all have/had long political careers and they treated their adoring audiences like their were brain dead.

(I apologize in advance for insulting the 'brain dead' constituency'.)

<< Prodi is already making noises about how the entire EU is back together again now, wishing to show that ... appeasement is [The answer to terrorism.] Hope his wife likes her new burka. >>

And that she and her daughters get used to their new 'husbands' -- and to a 'lifetime' of beatings and sodomy.

Very far sighted reply.Within a few years all US Forces will be withdrawn from "Old Europe" with the execption of the Ramstein facility.

New forward bases will be established in Poland, Hungary,Romania,Latvia,Georgia,Cyprus,Iraq, Kuwait and even Libiya.

Nato has served its purpose so far and with the inclusion of the 15 new members and a few well written rule changes
can maintain its military dominance in central europe.

Nato and SHAPE will move to the east where the Russian bear is only hibernating.

Actually, we may find ourselves ejected from NATO.

Fro what I see, not a few Americans want Bush to beg other NATO members to kick the US out of NATO. They seem to be genuinely sick and tired of this alliance that exists effectively in name only.
