"I do know that we need to expand our presence here ... we ought to have a more significant presence in this region,"
Bush told reporters during a visit to Poland.
"The numbers (of soldiers) are, I understand, in the hundreds, and that doesn't send a signal of strength. We need to be more robust, and need to encourage our allies to invest more in security."

Certainly not with most of the EU unless, of course, they receive tons and tons of our tax dollars as aid in order to allow us to base there. I don't think Putin will be too happy either and from earlier comments by Jeb, one of his foreign policy planks is to out-strength Putin.

Jebthro, as shown in that Reuters piece, hasn't even bothered reading about current events in central Europe. He just doesn't care, as a yo-yo working the planet toward World War III, he "knows" his kind will survive. The rest of humanity, not so much, but, hey! Who cares?
On Sept. 11, 2001 Dick Cheney found safety in that undisclosed location accessible only to Republican big-wigs. The Democratic leadership was shut out.
