Barracks Abominable

The drawdown from Iraq has been reaffirmed by the WHITE house; it’s all good…except a couple of little questions I have:
  •  Air bases in Iraq staying or going.?
  • Contractors in Iraq, many armed, -number over 100,000--staying, going.?
  • Carrier battle groups--staying or going?
    And …Our green zone “Embassy” the most Abominable mega Barrack(image below) -- a military fortress, of course; but those who are even slightly awake know that’s not an embassy but a base. 5,000 or so armed "diplomats" the largest, most fortified embassy in the world— that’s not coming home is it? 
Again our government and the press know that they are dealing with a somnolent public, which can be bamboozled at their whim without any pushback!

You can be sure we will remain in Iraq (and elsewhere is economicaly advantageous to the war profiteers) as long as we need to protect the gas pipelines…or we go broke doing it…or the gas runs out...!
While at home the economy and our own freedom disintegrates abominably.
