Will the U.S. ever leave Iraq? Official policy promises an eventual departure, while warning of the dire consequences of a "premature" withdrawal. But while Washington equivocates, facts on the ground tell another story. Independent journalist Dahr Jamail, and author Chalmers Johnson, are discovering that military bases in Iraq are being consolidated from over a hundred to a handful of "megabases" with lavish amenities. Much of what is taking place is obscured by denials and quibbles over the definition of "permanent." The Bases Are Loaded covers a wide range of topics. Gary Hart, James Goldsborough, Nadia Keilani, Raed Jarrar, Bruce Finley Kam Zarrabi and Mark Rudd all add their observations about the extent and purpose of the bases in Iraq.Alternate Focus is available on the Dish Network, Free Speech TV, Channel 9415 and on cable stations near you.

How does Obama fullfill the 16 month withdraw promise?

McCain? Obama? It's of no consequence. In no important way does it make a hair's-breadth worth of difference which one-worlder "wins" the office of Chief Magistrate.

I think America has really no choice but to stay. It's not like America can pack up our stuff and leave since fear has already be established because of 9/11. So, in order to "protect" the country they have to stay. Even if we do leave, we will never be sure what the middle east is capable of, or their true feeling towards America. In my opinion, I think almost the entire world has some hatred towards the country. For some reason America thinks that the world should all be governed the same.

The only thing I know is that America should take over the world. If we guys dont, then Russia is! and we dont want that... So Bush, take action bring piece world wide, and not just Iraq. Plus if you dont some other country is, China, Russia, or some other lunatic country. So act now before its to late. (I'm shore that the other countries would stab us in the back, if they could.) So act now! Before we do; dont you know we could all have a better life! Have freedom!
