Bush to Announce Worldwide U.S. Troop Withdrawals

Mon Aug 16, 6:38 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush is expected to announce on Monday the withdrawal of about 70,000 troops from Europe and Asia in a major realignment of the U.S. military presence to better fight the war on terrorism.

Bush is to speak in Ohio, seen as one of the November election battleground states, to the Veterans of Foreign Wars to outline a major realignment of the U.S. military presence prompted by the end of the Cold War, U.S. officials said.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said the changes will take years to put in place and did not expect large troop movements soon. But the realignment will mean big changes in long-standing arrangements with close allies and likely more U.S. troops on home soil, at a time when critics say the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts have stretched U.S. forces.

"The principal characteristics of all of them taken together are that we want greater usability of our forces, that we very likely will end up with more forces back in the United States, that we will be looking for flexibility and relationships so that we can rotate forces in, have exercises with various countries," Rumsfeld told reporters on Sunday as he returned from Europe and Asia.

1.
布希在週一宣布 未來將逐步自歐亞撤離約七萬名部隊 以因應反恐作戰

這樣的重新佈署 是冷戰之後所首見的

主要由於在伊拉克與阿富汗雙重運兵 美國軍力已經延伸得過長所致

但在採取部隊移防回國內的作法後 會嚴重影響美國的盟邦(如德國)

美國國防部長則說 美軍會採取彈性的作法輪調部隊 持續和多國進行演習

2.
希望台灣的民進黨政府要看清楚這個局面
美國已經兩面用兵了 如果未來北韓不安份 又出了狀況
則台海即使發生問題 美軍是否能及時反應或給予支援 都會是一大問題!!
