Does this developing agreement refer at all to the many U.S. military bases that we have been building in Iraq? Will they be manned by contractors? What is their status?
SO FEW bits of information about these bases ever seems to crawl into the news here, it seems like 12-17, or how many ever, major U.S bases in Iraq is a giant expense we know very little about, and a huge implication for status of U.S military power in the Middle East...or is it going to be U.S Contractor Power?
Thank you for doing this great TOL program!
