I beg your pardon AggonyDuck. I stand (well actually sit) corrected. I had always thought that your country was a memeber. I guess it was because the former Soviet Union had invaded in the past, and I figured that Finland would want to be a member for protection.

As far as pulling out the V corps and Southern Task force goes, I don't think it ties in with the strategic aims of the PNAC plan. It may be phsycological, but I don't think that they fully trust the Germans and the Russians. After WWII and the Cold War which followed, the U.S. government has always kept a jaundiced eye on these two nations.
