Lt Bell in his comments stated treason and mentioned Karl Rove. Facts not in evidence. The truth is it is an out right lie. Plame was not undercover, and Rove did not mention her name. Talking about taking your eye off the ball, I want to know why Wilson lied about who sent him, who he sent his report to, and what he found. A Congressional investigation contradicts everything Wilson said. As for troops in Germany, part of me says bring them all home, the other part says we need to keep them there. Their presents has prevented any war in Europe for quite a while, when nothing else ever has.

Uzbekistan is ruled by a dictator who abuses human rights. I'm glad that we chose to get kicked out rather than silence our criticism of his human rights record. I don't find that "ethically challenged" at all.

"The coalition of the willing is showing its true colors." Since when is Germany part of the coalition of the willing. They ran second to France for snarkiest allies you wouldn't want to turn your back on.

Actually, I would think the left would be happy. 64 years after a Democrat got us into a war, we are starting to develop and exit plan.

Yeah, we finally have photos of the castles, probably travelogues too, and tours arranged. And, the 'Berlin Wall' intended to keep out causal influx towards the historical sites, may have also been removed. But did Germany deserve punishment when members of other nations sought direct residency in the ancient fortresses?

Oh and by the way, the only bases mentioned are small forward bases by the looks of them. I didn't see any mention of any of the mega-bases in the Frankfurt or Kaiserslautern areas being closed. If we close those bases, then we're really serious about leaving Germany. These are small potatoes.

Since when is a democratic election a loss for us?

About time. We won the war, but lost the peace apparently, since Germans elected Schroeder and his ilk.
