Iraq: Exit or Empire?

June 22, 2005

In two separate articles discussing the ongoing military occupation in Iraq, Gary Hart asks a simple yes or no question: "Are we, or are we not, building permanent military bases in Iraq?"

Both articles, as well as others by Senator Hart, are available at The Huffington Post.

"Iraq: Exit or Empire?"

and

"We Are There to Stay"


A recent article in the Washington Post only lends further credence to Hart's suspicions that the Bush administration is not being entirely candid. According to the Post, the military plans to redeploy forces from over 100 to just 4 bases, with "a more permanent character."
