    well ... when did the troops leave Germany?

    In their dream of maintaining a new sphere of influence in the Middle East, Bush and the neocons don't EVER plan to leave Iraq. They realize the American public isn't ready for this news (just as it's not ready for their plans to criminalize abortion or end Social Security), but just as we've left troops in Germany ever since WWII, they rely on it becoming a historical inevitability.
