#1 What do you think you are, a government?
We want a base, you say "Sure it's our idea". (Nice puppet, Works for me)

#2 It makes sense that the Government should have to clear foreign bases, but on the other hand the base is sort of designed to protect the Kurds from that same government. The Kurds need to build their own military bases on private land (for Hollywood movies, wink, wink) that the US could occupy in case of trouble.

Or the alternate, if Obama wins the Kurds should leave. If they all moved to the West Bank and Gaza and kicked out the locals they could have their own state and Israel would be a friendly neighbor.
