Bush Plans to Cut Forces in Europe, Asia

By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer

SIOUX CITY, Iowa - President Bush (news - web sites) has decided to bring home tens of thousands of U.S. troops from posts around the world — most of them in Europe and Asia — plus 100,000 of their family members and support personnel, U.S. officials said Saturday. The changes will have no effect on forces in Iraq (news - web sites) or Afghanistan (news - web sites).

As part of the largest troop realignment in years, Bush will shift about 70,000 uniformed military personnel, most of them currently in Europe, two senior administration officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. A significant proportion will come home, though it was not clear when.
