Bush has changed the reasons so many times that it really doesn't matter does it?

Yes. What our Dept. of Defense is trying to do is establish a web of ready presence points to maintain U.S. superiority. It's not new; the USSR did it too when it was trying to leverage global dominance.

You can look at it as superiority or preparedness. It is a marketing spin at that point. Is the alternative - closing them all and "hunkering down" in our own borders "good enough" for survival in global politics? Is there any risk with that approach? Hmmmm....

Fear monger away, Bob. Buy your guns and get ready for your revolution.
BTW - There is nothing that can be done to eliminate all risk.

Was that the answer to the question? Oh, I get it...."there is nothing to fear but fear itself."
The world reality is that everybody really just wants get in a circle on a mountain (like, maybe in Afghanistan) to sing together like a 70's Coke commercial.  We're there, dude. Peace....
