Crap that's deceitful. The papers over there report things as done deals when neither USFK nor the American government have ever indicated that plans for the move were finalized. The issue has always been that the move COULD take place if relocation funding apportionment could be agreed upon. That hasn't been done. The Seoul government also reported the move as a done deal claiming the end of year 2008 as the magic deadline by which the move will have been completed. They knew that was a lie as they had never agreed upon the money. The move has still not been paid for, the land has not been purchased in entirety, and not a single building for the headquartes has had ground broken for it. This move will not take place for a very long time and under no circumstance will the headquarters move unless a transfer of command, a huge reduction in forces, or a nullification of the alliance takes place...any of those are fine by me. Well, perhaps not, but it would be nice to see a small dose of honest reporting at least.

At his election time, so many young students lectured me about how Roh was going to change things. How he was going to make things better, fix all the problems, yadda yadda yadda. He does seem to be fixing a lot of our (the U.S.'s )problems. I am soooooooo thankful for Roh. I just hope they see the job through and we can get every U.S. soldier free of Korea.
