Bush setting up 14 permanent military bases in Iraq

Rarely reported, the U.S. desires permanent military bases in Iraq
David Francis,
Christian Science Monitor

[A] dozen is the number of so-called "enduring bases" located by John
Pike, director of GlobalSecurities.org. His military affairs website
gives their names. They include, for example, Camp Victory at the
Baghdad airfield and Camp Renegade in Kirkuk. The Chicago Tribune last
March said US engineers are constructing 14 "enduring bases," but Mr.
Pike hasn't located two of them.

Permanent bases in Iraq are a "disastrously bad idea," says Jessica
Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
in Washington. It reinforces Iraqi suspicions that the US launched the
war to get a hand on Iraqi oil, control the region, and wants to
maintain a puppet government in Baghdad.

An Eye for an Eye

We have extracted some tons of flesh
>From poor people whom we were falsely led to believe posed a threat to
us
But the bombings will not abate
Because the humvees, jets and bombs have such high profit rates
With Bush we have a permanent war strategy
Which means a permanent pork barrell for billionaires

So they keep us ignorant of the truth
Blind to what they don't want to let us see
The 20,000+ Iraqi Civilians murdered by our troops
All those mothers, children and little babies with their guts hanging
out
Will never be seen on American T.V.
Because America's present leadership has an obsence love for power and
profits
But what does it profit a nation to gain a fortune and lose it's soul?
