Garth's Question About Iraq Military Bases

Dear Astrid,

I am looking for videos of US military bases (> 30) in Iraq. Can you help me?

Dear Garth,

This prooved to be a very interesting topic for research.  Thanks for your curiostiy in the subject; I have learned a lot from it.

Here are a few videos I have found:

Freedom Journal Iraq You Tube Site

• This site shows a lot of the story that mainstream media doesn't show.  A lot of it is about the lives of American solider's life in Iraq.  It has a pro-military stance.  This video may proove especially useful.

• The Bases Are Loaded: US Permanent Military Presence in Iraq.  I think the description on their youtube site describes the video best: "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."

Hope that helps!

Love, Astrid
