As bases no Iraque O New York Times, repetido depois pelo Público, anunciam a intenção americana de instalar quatro bases militares de longo prazo no Iraque. Donald Rumsfeld negou já a notícia enfaticamente:

``Obviously there will have been significant changes. I would personally say that a friendly Iraq that is not led by a Saddam Hussein would be a reason we could have fewer forces in the region, rather than more -- I mean, just logically.''

O New York Times no seu melhor.
