Not quite true here Jackieboy.... what about the Phillipines, Cuba,
Italy, Germany, We got bases in all those countrys AFTER "Liberating
them"......

Me History is a double edged Sword.......

Dear no-such-person, hiding behind a phony address and name:

"got bases" is a little broad a term for the very different reasons we lease
property from those countries today. Most were enemies conquered in world or
regional wars, and once housed occupying armies (and Navies). Another was a
possession that had nothing to do with liberation, there was never a country
there. It is of course a free and sovereign country now, thanks only to the
efforts of the United States. A double edged sword to you would be the
pencil you once take exams with, it's obvious you poked yourself in the eye
more than scored with it.
