WASHINGTON, June 3 -- The Pentagon has proposed a plan to withdraw its two Army divisions from Germany and undertake an array of other changes in its European-based forces, in the most significant rearrangement of the American military around the world since the beginning of the cold war, according to American and allied officials.
Well, is that good news or bad news? Guess.
[S]ome experts and allied officials are concerned that the shift will reduce Washington's influence in NATO and weaken its diplomatic links with its allies, all at a time of rising anti-American sentiment around the world.
And guess who's in charge?
Hint: He is at the center of every foreign policy fuckup of the Bush Maladministration: "stovepiping" of Iraq intelligence, inadequacy of troop numbers in Iraq, the Chalabi espionage scandal (he's rumored to be the leaker!) and even Abu Ghraib!!!!!
You guessed it, it's Douggie Feith! Feel confident yet?
WHAT is it going to take to get rid of Feith?
