U.S. to Upgrade Air Bases in Afghan-
istan
`
"The United States is spending $83
million to upgrade its two main air
bases [near Kabul in the north and
near Kandahar in the south]...."
`
That's covercrap for:
`
"U.S. forces are currently vacating
Shindand Air Base...[near] the Iran-
ian border...."
`
Some polish is needed, so:
`
"...Rice said on a visit to Kabul...
that Washington had not decided how
long to keep troops here."
`
The Afghan peoples have already de-
cided THAT.
`
The Superpower has only to decide
whether its troops leave in one
piece or not.
