Hey this is getting to be a trend. Another post based on made up facts and made up numbers.

First off Germany does not even have 75,000 troops to move to Romania. The total troop forces in Germany today are only 71,000.

As to their "secret mission" (yea its going to be a secret mission with 75,000 US troops involved LOL) here are the facts of what is happening in Germany and why:

There are 11 bases closing in Germany by 2007. The bases are currently home to the 1st Infantry Division which, along with another armored division, will return to the United States in 2006 to be replaced by a much smaller combat brigade considered better able to fight the war on terror and react rapidly to emerging threats.

Did you notice the key fact that they were returning to the U.S. and not Romania? Romainia has been considered as a new location to send troops but not in large numbers. More on that in the reply to this post. *

Anyone still harping on the "war for oil" scenario after oil has past $65.00 a barrel needs to have their heads examined. Anyone still following after this lunatic fringe in a free society with access to real news, as opposed to government feed propaganda, really has no excuses as to what state of mind they work themselves into by feeding at this trough.
