The Uzbek State on Friday endorsed the government's decision to evict U.S. troops near a military base. The 93 senators voted unanimously to support the July order from President Islam Karimov, giving the United States six months to vacate the airbase at Karshi-Khanabad, in the southern Kashkadarya region.

"We know that fundamentalist moods arise wherever U.S. bases appear," Kashkadarya governor Nuritdin Zainiyev said before the vote. "Enemies of the United States appear wherever there is a U.S. military presence, and we don't want to be caught in-between."
I'm not sure how bases in other countries work, but if we are there invited I suppose they can resend that invitation. But I'm not buying the reason. Call me "paranoid", but I suspect there are other motives, but aren't there always? I'm not saying we belong there or not, but I certainly suspect their reasons for not wanting us.

GOOD FOR UZBEKISTAN!!!!! I honestly wish that more countries would follow their lead and give our occupying troops the boot. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that our military has become the "world police" and/or babysitters for nations that just can't get their sh*t together... we DON'T belong in Iraq, we DON'T belong in Afghanistan, and why does no one seem to pay attention to the fact that 16 of the 19 hijackers on 9-11 were from SAUDI ARABIA, and our president just so happens to be best buddies and business partner to all the Saudi royalty?!?!?!?!? F*ck Bush, and f*ck this war....i wanna move to Canada :(
that is exactly what i'm going to do within the next ten years while i still have relatives alive in alberta and manitoba! :) I am still patriotic , just in the sense of what our founding fathers' intentions were, not the bastardized mess our so-called democracy has become!
