Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | US military to build four giant new bases in Iraq: "However, the decision to in vest in the bases, which will require the construction of more permanent structures such as blast-proof barracks and offices, is seen by some as a sign that the US expects to keep a permanent presence in Iraq.
Politicians opposed to a long-term US presence on Iraqi soil questioned the plan.
'They appear to settling in a for the long run, and that will only give fuel for the terrorists,' said a spokesman for the mainstream Sunni Iraqi Islamic party.
Well, that's what the neocons want. They want to "give fuel" to terrorists. They can't keep Americans scared if they don't.
A senior US official in Baghdad said yesterday: 'It has always been a main plank of our exit strategy to withdraw from the urban areas as and when Iraqi forces are trained up and able to take the strain. It is much better for all concerned that Iraqis police themselves.' " Ah, so that's why there's no training going on.
