Permanent U.S. Bases In Iraq?

  So what's new, right? Anyone in this country with an I.Q. over ten has already figured out that the Bush Crime Family had intended for our troops to stay in Iraq until hell freezes over. The war profiteers have been making to much money off of Iraq to just let any President, Bush, Obama, or Clinton, close down the shop.

Details have emerged of a deal between Washington and Baghdad that would allow the US forces to occupy permanent bases in Iraq, carry out military operations and have immunity from Iraqi law.

The deal would also cement the US military presence in Iraq and could prevent Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential hopeful, from making good on campaign promises to withdraw US troops if elected.

  This would be the Bush plan to keep on helping his war industries with their finances.

The Independent report says that under the proposed "strategic alliance", the US, which currently has about 155,000 troops in Iraq, would be allowed to have more than 50 permanent bases in the country.

Soldiers stationed there would be granted full immunity from Iraqi law and a free hand to conduct arrests and military operations without the consent of Baghdad, or even an obligation to consult the Iraqi government, according to the report.

  How the Iraqi citizens must be loving American democracy right about now!
