US intends to maintain military presence in postwar Iraq: paper
WASHINGTON, April 20 (Xinhua) -- The United States, planning to
have a long-term military relationship with the postwar Iraq, intends
to maintain its military presence in the oil-rich country, the New
York Times reported Sunday.
The planned long-term military relationship with the emerging
government of Iraq would grant the US access to the Iraq military
bases, the paper quoted senior Bush administration officials as
saying.
The US military officials mentioned four bases in Iraq that could
be used by the US military forces in the future.
