Iraq to Dick Cheney: Big Fat No

Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak Al-Rubaie told the Dick Cheney no permanent U.S. bases. He isn't mincing words.

The people of Iraq, the parliament, the council of representatives and the government of Iraq, they all say no, big fat no, N-O for the bases in Iraq. No military bases for Iraq because we believe that is in direct encroachment to our soveriegnty, and we don’t need it.
