Presidential spokeswoman Corina Cretu, who accompanied Iliescu on a visit to Greece, told journalists that the U.S. Embassy does not "publicly discuss" aspects related to the number of U.S. troops and the equipment used by them, but added that according to the embassy "media speculations" are "grossly exaggerated." The number of troops stationed at the base, Cretu added, will fluctuate in correlation to "changing circumstances" related to possible military action against Iraq. However, the U.S. Embassy has clarified that "their number will not be greater than several thousand," Cretu added. MS __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
