[Peace-discuss] Why Should the Senate Fund "Enduring" U.S. Military Bases in Afghanistan?

[Robert Naiman]

Walter Pincus reports in the Washington Post that the Pentagon is
planning to build military bases in Afghanistan for years of U.S.
combat. But the Senate could reject or restrict the money for such
construction; a step Congress took in 2008, when it rejected a
Pentagon request for military construction in Iraq that "seemed
long-term."
