“The Americans hope that by next spring, they will be operating from what General Wentz described as a hub-and-spoke system, with 6 supersize bases and 13 smaller ones. Fewer bases means traveling greater distances, at greater risk.”
As I said over three years ago:
“The U.S. Military has no plans to completely leave Iraq.
It will be, if ever, decades before we leave and then it will be like Germany, they will beg us to stay.
Right now the U.S. is building Megabases in several places in Iraq, complete with huge airports and storage facilities.
Think Viet Nam, times ten, or if your too young to know about that, think small American cities with big airports.”
I will also predict that twenty years from now American Military and American business will still be in Afghanistan not only helping them have a better life but also making money.
Mark my words.
