The US Has No Permanent Military Bases Anywhere

Remember when I claimed that Bush's statement of "No Permanent Bases in Iraq" was a lie?

Well, now we get the parsing, because Bush and His Evil Minions^™ are now saying that the US has no permanent bases anywhere in the world.

We don't have them in Japan, or Korea, or Germany, because at some point, the host government could ask us to leave, or, in a few billion years, the sun could go nova.

I knew that his "no permanent bases" statement was a lie, but now he's parsing it on the basis of what the word "is" is.
