Do you think the insurgents are justified in killing Iraqis? I don't know that "justified" is a word that applies to civil wars. Permanant bases? globalsecurity.org Why would the U.S. spend so much on infrastructure and give it away when it doesn't even know what form of government will be around. That has never happened before, it would be foolish to think it is happening now. washingtonmonthly.com If we can have a large embassy in Iraq, we can use it as a base for our agents to create the intelligence networks But that assumes that the insurgency dies down to a point that the agents can go out and collect intelligence. It's a circle jerk of failure, not a coherent plan.

As far as the U.S. building permanent bases in Iraq. I don't know much about it. How do you know they are permanent? How do you know they are not going to be handed over the Iraqi security forces, just as we handed over our command and control center in Saudi Arabia back over to the Saudis? US bases in Iraq are not permanent. The second any Iraqi government requests that they be removed, they will be removed. It happened in the Philippines, it happened in Saudi Arabia. As far as I know the only place where the US has bases that the local government objects to is.....Cuba!
