We don't need to risk the U2 pilots anymore - the Global Hawk can do the job. True - that will eventually happen. We don't NEED bases in Iraq. True - we don't "need" them - but you will have a real hard time arguing they would not provide a huge strategic and operational advantage in the region. Global Hawk like the U2 flies along the border, the longer the border the more of a country you can look at. They can fly day or night in almost any weather. As for spying on Iran, why do we NEED to? Is Iran a threat to US? In God we trust, all others we monitor.
