This story is funny, since this has been the plan all along, and was one of the real reasons behind this illegal war. This seems to be a way of hiding these facts, since the developments on the ground makes this hard to hide under the rug.

Baghdad: A proposed Iraqi-American security agreement will include permanent American bases in the country, and the right for the United States to strike, from within Iraqi territory, any country it considers a threat to its national security, Gulf News has learned.
(Or anyone its corrupt politicians lie about being a threat ...)
Senior Iraqi military sources have told Gulf News that the long-term controversial agreement is likely to include three major items.
Under the agreement, Iraqi security institutions such as Defence, Interior and National Security ministries, as well as armament contracts, will be under American supervision for ten years.
(Turning Iraq's military into a Colonial Auxiliary, to be used to pay the price of interests which aren't theirs, allowing the US to engage in more war its own citizens aren't willing to fight.)
The agreement is also likely to give American forces permanent military bases in the country, as well as the right to move against any country considered to be a threat against world stability or acting against Iraqi or American interests.
(It's already built/building these bases. Its Puppets simply have to sign on the dotted line in order to complete the illusion. These PNAC fanatics have already proven they will LIE to start these future wars.)
The military source added, "According to this agreement, the American forces will keep permanent military bases on Iraqi territory, and these will include Al Asad Military base in the Baghdadi area close to the Syrian border, Balad military base in northern Baghdad close to Iran, Habbaniyah base close to the town of Fallujah and the Ali Bin Abi Talib military base in the southern province of Nasiriyah close to the Iranian border."
Two of them also host the Israeli military and the Mossad.)
The sources confirmed that the American army is in the process of completing the building of the military facilities and runways for the permanent bases.
(Which is interesting, since this is being touted - by the same media complicit in the Regime's crimes against the American public - as a new development ...)
He added that the American air bases in Kirkuk and Mosul will be kept for no longer than three years. However, he said there were efforts by the Americans to include the Kirkuk base in the list of permanent bases.
(Riiiight ...)
The sources also said that a British brigade was expected to remain at the international airport in Basra for ten years as long as the American troops stayed in the permanent bases in Iraq.
Iraqi analysts said that the second item of the controversial agreement which permits American forces on Iraqi territories to launch military attacks against any country it considers a threat is addressed primarily to Iran and Syria.
(Neither of which pose actual threats, but are the next targets of the 'Neo-Conservatives' - Fascists - in Israel and the US, and they will attack these sovereign states if not removed from power.)
Iran has raised serious concerns in the past few days over the Iraqi-American security agreement and followed it with issuing religious fatwas and called for demonstrations, mainly by the powerful Shiite leader Moqtada Al Sadr movement, who is close to Iran, against the agreement.
