Uzbek government calls for US troop withdrawl.

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan (AP) -- The Uzbek upper house of parliament Friday backed the government's order that the United States withdraw troops from this Central Asian nation.
The 93 Senate members present at the session voted unanimously for a resolution that backs the government's July 29 order giving the United States six months to vacate Karshi-Khanabad, an air base in the country's south that has been crucial for the U.S.-led anti-terror operations in neighboring Afghanistan.
Observers said the order could be connected to a U.S. decision to join international demands for an independent investigation into a bloody crackdown on unarmed demonstrators in an eastern Uzbek city in May. One of the senators accused the United States of fueling extremism.
"We know that fundamentalist moods arise wherever U.S. bases appear. Enemies of the United States appear wherever there is a U.S. military presence, and we don't want to be caught in between," Kashkadarya region governor Nuritdin Zainiyev said before the vote.

2. Gee, ya think?

"Enemies of the United States appear wherever there is a U.S. military presence,..."

I wonder why? Let's ask around the Middle East, someone should know.

4. Uhoh.

Time to accuse Uzbekistan of harboring terrorists now.

Or maybe the neo-cons will just pay them off to stay.
