They are requesting 58 sites from the Iraqis, permanent ones.

58 bases sought by uS in Iraq: remember no permanent bases?

Do you think that the Iraqis do not want the influx of cash that American bases will bring? What a boost to the Iraqi economy. Do you think that Japan, Korea, Germany, England, and the other countries where America has bases want Americans to close the bases and leave?
No other country is going to mess with the host country as long as the Americans have bases.

Actually I was IN Germany at the beginning of the draw down and they were happy in a great many communities that we were leaving. We started fights in their bars, we got their daughters pregnant, we wrecked lots of country side during field training exercises. Not everyone was glad to see us go, but there weren't a whole lot of shed tears.

They're tossing all the cards on the table now because they realize they don't have much time.
They've been trying to force the Iraqi Oil; Law down their throats for 5 years .. with no success.
Now that the Iraqis know the Americans are on their way out .. there is no way they're falling for this bullshit.
The lion has lost its roar.

Desh, remember when we were tinfoil hat conspiracists, for suggesting BushCo wanted permanent bases?
Please Lord, don't give Rush "Viagra" Limbaugh and the rightwing any ideas about a sexual tourism industry in Iraq. The hundreds of thousands of destitute widows and orphaned girls Bush created are ripe for exploitation.
Oh no, you’ve got it all wrong Cypress. They all want it. They’re not like American women. They need it around the clock. Those women and girls would be grateful, that’s right, grateful, if we shipped over tens of thousands of old stinky men like Rush with their dicks in their hands. I bet they would send us flowers to thank us for it! If not, something more.
Well, if Bush said it than it must be true!
My bet is that they are seeking 57 permanent bases and one "military support structure."
LOL.
Oh, I'll change my guess then.
My new bet is that they are seeking 1,000 year leases with no termination provisions and an option to extend for another 1,000 years at the election of the United States.
