“I agree and I want to get off France for a minute. France is looking after their own national interests. Let us talk about oil. That is the country that is making this a war over oil because they are the one with all the sweetheart deals with Iraq for oil supply; but look at our items that we buy that are French, and if we choose so, do not eat them. Let us talk about Germany. My colleague and I do a lot of work for our military, and in my district we have five military installations. Big fear in Georgia right now, 13 total, is BRAC, base realignment and closure commissions. Do we need a military base in Germany with countries like Bulgaria and the emerging, less affluent countries that are strategically better located anyhow? But they are dying for our business because let me say this. If Moody Air Force Base or Fort Stewart or Robbins get on the BRAC list, people in Georgia are going to be nonstop scurrying around trying to get them off the BRAC list as they did last time, as will happen all over the world, all over the country; but meanwhile, we have got bases in Germany. If that is not 100 percent America's interests, then maybe we ought to move those bases. What does my colleague think?”
