You are naive to think that the U.S. bases are not intended to be permanent. No Iraqi government will be allowed that won't sign the usual basing agreements that the U.S. demands of its colonies and client states. It's out of our hands. If the elected leader of Iraq says "get rid of your bases", what do you think the US is going to do - assassinate him? No, cut off aid to Iraq. What embassy do you work for?

Re: It's out of our hands. If the elected leader of Iraq says "get rid of your bases", what do you think the US is going to do - assassinate him? As a matter of fact, yes. The U.S. had an active campaign to assassinate Fidel Castro for decades. The U.S. is complicit in the assassination of Chile's Salvadore Allende. The U.S. is also guilty via Operation Gladio for several political assassinations in Italy. It is the U.S. CIA that is implicated in the assassination terror that reigned in Greece after WW II. The U.S. is implicated in providing the names of 5,000 undesirable leftists, trade unionists and socialists in Iraq who were systematically assassinated by Saddam Hussein when the Ba'ath Party assassinated President Kassim in 1963. The U.S. CIA is implicated in an even larger purging of leftist opponents of the Suharto regime as it rose to power with full U.S. complicity in 1965 in Indonesia. The final death toll there probably exceeds 500,000, with a large number of community and trade union organizers targetted by the CIA and assassinated by the right wing thugs working for Suharto. What the hell are you (other than idiotically naive) to think that George Bush (a greedy and sleazy oilman) will ever allow any real opposition to his will in Iraq? You are naive beyond compare. *** PS: Re: The Japanese government has not asked that the Okinawa base be removed. Please think. Re-read your original post in this series. You said that no "local government" has demanded the withdrawl of U.S. bases. I provided perfect proof that you are wrong. The Tokyo government is not the local government on Okinawa, which has in fact demanded the abolition of U.S. bases on that island. You are not being honest. Is this one of the necessary prerequites to being a Republican today? To lie without remorse, and often without even realizing that one is lying? The GOP is a disgrace to this nation.
