http://www.counterpunch.com/dimaggio02252008.htmlHere is a story from Counterpunch about a bill sponsored by Henry Waxman and about 40 progressive Democrats regarding
permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq.
Interestingly, neither Obama nor Hillary have co-sponsored this bill. Meaning that these "opponents" of the war have no problem with U.S. plans for permanent military bases in Iraq. Strange, huh? They're "anti-war," but they're cool with permanent U.S. military bases in the same country the war is being fought in - - gee, wonder how that can be? Kinda makes you wonder, eh, what's the point of elections? This issue has already been decided at higher levels. Seems too important to leave to the voters.
What is equally strange is the silence of the MSM on this issue. Nary a peep, as they say. The article explores that silence, too. Gee, what a strangely monolithic MSM you have for such a "free country."
