But that's my conspiracy theory for the day and I have no data to back my claim up... But it does sound fishy...

France doesn't put in near the amount of support to the EU as does Germany. I'd say Germany also has more influence. From my travels in Europe, I've seen MANY more German companies opening up factories in other European counties.

As far as pulling troops outta Asia, what about the N.Korea issue? That would be my concern. Then Malaysia or some Musilim Asian country losing their mind and training terrorists camps and blowing things up for the smell of it would concern me at bit... How could we get a grasp of it??? Unless, the US has thought of another plan... Which is highly likely and it might involve China a bit more--but that's my speculation and I could be wrong... Let's hope so.

I think our biggest concern is the Phillipines. So far, through our cooperation with the government there, our combined efforts have been VERY effective.
