| Romania offers military aid to US in event of Iraq war |
| 2003-02-10 |
| Romania has announced it would support the U.S. with military aid in case of a possible war with Iraq. President Ion Iliescu said Romania had accepted a US request to use its airspace and other necessary infrastructure. He added Romania would also offer military units specialized in nuclear decontamination. Romania has supported a joint declaration by 10 eastern European countries stating that Iraq was "clearly" violating the UN resolutions. Thanks, Romania. Say, we're looking for a few places to rent now that the landlords in Germany don't seem to want our business anymore. Interested? |

| #7 Won't Misha be too busy cleaning up Chechnya for the next few years? If the new batch of recruits is coming from there, Pooty-Poot might just look the other way, and so will we. |

| #6 What if we invite the Russians in on all the training? An Alliance Training Center, where all the good guys come to play. And the Polish girls are friendly.

| #5 Poland is already a NATO member, why would having a base there worry Putin? Besides, give it time and you might see Russia in NATO, or whatever it might be called by then. |

| #4 Ya know, it's possible that in five or ten years Comrade Putin's successor will welcome having US forces between him and Deutschland. |

| #2 Sorry, but military bases in Romania/Poland or (horror of horrors) the Ukraine would make the big friendly bear unacceptably nervous. |
