Daily Sabaj/Anadolou Agency: US establishes 2 military bases in Iraq's western Anbar province
The U.S. has established two new military bases in Iraq's western Anbar province near the Syrian border, an Iraqi official revealed Tuesday.
The move comes less than one week after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to withdraw all U.S. forces from Syria.
"The U.S. Army has established two new military facilities in uninhabited parts of the province," Farhan al-Duleimi, a member of Anbar's provisional council, told Anadolu Agency.
The first base, he said, had been set up in the northern Rumana subdistrict (in Anbar's Al-Qaim district) near the Syrian border, roughly 360 kilometers west of provincial capital Ramadi.

Seems to me that the 30 years war was well 30 years. We've only been 17 years and the peanut gallery is bitching.

Toyota does seem to get a lot of free advertising.
