There is a saying: the whole is more than the sum of it's pieces.

But that's my point. These single pieces alone, the airbases, are not on their own indicitive of the extent of the US' planned stay in Iraq.
And all of a sudden, you introduce Israel into this? Is this indicative of anything Skybird? The only reason I brought up Israel is to draw similarities to the physical perimeters of airbases. Or are you alluding to something more sinister?
I never said it was not possible. I said that proving the US' long term intentions through the architecture of these airbases is not ON ITS OWN proof.
Bush has 2 years left. The next president might decide to cut the US' losses and exit Iraq, which I have stated I personally think is the right thing to do. Will Bush himself change his mind? Very doubtful.
