The US military has constructed four advanced bases 20 miles from Iraq's border with Iran, a senior Iraqi police officer has announced.

The bases, equipped with missile launch pads, have been set up over the past four months on the Iraq-Iran border; Iraqi al-Noor newspaper quoted the official as saying.

He added that one of the bases has been located 30 km (20 miles) from the first border town with Iran and houses remote-controlled launching pads as well as radar systems similar to ones used in Kuwait during the first Persian Gulf war.

"The bases do not serve military intentions and its staff would not be military personnel."

According to the official, the bases are only precautionary measures in case of a military strike against Israel by Iran.

A team consisting of high-profile US marines, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) alongside Pentagon experts oversee the bases.

    It found 46% of the men are "angry all the time" & unemployement is high.

    The unstable and increasingly angry populations of these countries need to hear why they can live in a stable and prosperous future," she said. "Otherwise they are very vulnerable to violent recruitment by violent groups."

  • God help us all. The beast is pouncing on its prey. When the Prince of Peace comes, who is the desire of the nations, our weapons can be turned to instruments of benevolence. We will all then learn righteousness and live safely on the earth.

  • Listen to Einstein's political thoughts ....

    The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labor - not by force, but on the whole in faithful compliance with legally established rules. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

    "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."

    "Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves."

    Here's a good one to go out with...

    "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

  • People! take a moment and write your representatives and tell them to make Bush stand down. America cannot handle another war in that region, we haven't even secured afghanistan after 6 years.

  • The border between Iraq and Iran, as well as the lines separating Iran from other countries, was created by western civilization. Iranians are scattered throughout the entirety of the middle east. It is going to take a lot more than a few bases around the border to defend American interests, even if it is an Iranian attack against Israel.

  • It was clear from the start of this occupation that the US presence in the Middle East would be a permanent one, much like how the US still has bases in Japan and Germany. War with Iran is unnecessary but, unfortunately, appears to be inevitable.

  • Good now Israel can just land their Jets on our air strips after bombing the nuclear facilities.

  • The US military is NOT building these bases. This is a blatent attempt at deception. Our military contracts all building to Halliburton, and other neocon companies who in turn sub the contracts out to the Binladen families construction co. Yes that's right folks , do alittle research of your own. This is the very reason these cowards in the white house have gotten away with so much already. These bases are FOR the US military not BY the US military. I posted the vid yesterday showing the Binladen/Bush connection and it clearly shows what family builds bases for the US George W. Bushladen is a traitor and Americans seem to be OK with that. Look for " what will it take to get an investigation into George W. Bush" If you keep your head in the sand, don't bitch when someone sticks it in your ass.
