Permanent Bases in Iraq?
No, says Karen Hughes, ethics trooper for the Bush administration, December 8, 2005.
No plans, says Rumsfeld on his Christmas 2005 visit to Falluja.
Do not intend to have any, says Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt in Washington state, January 27, 2006.
Yes, says Gen. John Abizaidon Tuesday March 14, 2006.
