Rumsfeld comes to Brussels. by Guido Wednesday June 11, 2003 at 09:27 AM |

On Thursday and Friday, Mr. Rumsfeld attends a NATO defense ministers' meeting in Brussels as the alliance tries to put divisions over the Iraq war behind it and face up to new challenges in the future.
"The Pentagon is planning a global realignment of forces that is expected to move U.S. troops out of big Cold War-era bases in Germany to other locations in Eastern Europe."
"One top NATO official says those U.S plans are not officially on the ministers' agenda. He says they will concentrate on reorganizing NATO's command structure to make it more adaptable to 21st century challenges like terrorism and rogue states that harbor weapons of mass destruction"
