| Quote: | | Will the U.S. ever leave Iraq? Official policy promises an eventual departure, while warning of the dire consequences of a "premature" withdrawal. But while Washington equivocates, facts on the ground tell another story. Independent journalist Dahr Jamail, and author Chalmers Johnson, are discovering that military bases in Iraq are being consolidated from over a hundred to a handful of "megabases" with lavish amenities. Much of what is taking place is obscured by denials and quibbles over the definition of "permanent." The Bases Are Loaded covers a wide range of topics. Gary Hart, James Goldsborough, Nadia Keilani, Raed Jarrar, Bruce Finley Kam Zarrabi and Mark Rudd all add their observations about the extent and purpose of the bases in Iraq. |

Nice video.
FYI, I had problems with blip.tv default embed. But the "alternate" myspace embed worked fine.
Nice to see blip.tv gives you choice of whether to run it as a flash embed (as above), or download an .mp4 or .flv file .. makes "ripping" much easier if they give it to you on a plate. |
