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.
"What are the odds that a US military commander of one of these bases is going
to say, "Well, OK Iraqis, looks like our job's done here. Here's the keys. Enjoy
the movie theater. Have fun in the swimming pool. Enjoy your democracy. Take
Care?"
It's just not going to happen. That's my point. These are billion dollar bases.
These are Mega Bases. They're permanent bases, and they are there absoultely to
stay."
- Dahr Jamail in the film "The Bases Are Loaded".
