U.S. Invests Over $1B to Upgrade Middle East Bases

This comes as the U.S. is investing over one billion dollars in major upgrades

at military bases in Afghanistan and the region. The New York Times reports the

U.S. is spending over $100 million at the Bagram Air Base near Kabul to build

permanent electrical, water and sewer systems. In addition the U.S. is replacing

the air base's runway and building a hospital and housing for 1,000 service

members. In Iraq, the military is also spending over $100 million to upgrade its

airfield near Balad, north of Baghdad. And in Qatar, the U.S. is building a

100,000-square-foot fortified state-of-the-art regional air operations center.

something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the

something that I can do.
