In any event, it is not clear why the United States would need more than a handful of big bases in the future, and most if not all of those are already there and looking quite permanent, from the KFC and Burger King outlets, to the car dealerships, to the 6,000- person mess halls.
"Car dealerships"? We have car dealerships at our bases in Iraq--you know, the ones that aren't permanent? Baghdad Bob's Ford is ready to DEAL!
