U.S. to Reduce Sinai Observer Force
(Jerusalem Post) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld wants to see the American mission in the Sinai end in order to free up badly needed troops for other U.S.-led military missions. Rumsfeld is intent on removing the vast majority of the 900 American peacekeepers and leaving behind a symbolic headquarters. "He wants to kill it entirely, but will settle for a massive reduction," one U.S. official said. Egypt and Israel both oppose any change in the status quo.
