WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is moving forward with plans to build a new, 40-acre detention complex on the main American military base in Afghanistan, officials said, in a stark acknowledgment that the United States is likely to continue to hold prisoners overseas for years to come.
The proposed detention center would replace the cavernous, makeshift American prison on the Bagram military base north of Kabul, which is now typically packed with about 630 prisoners, compared with the 270 held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
Until now, the Bush administration had signaled that it intended to scale back American involvement in detention operations in Afghanistan. It had planned to transfer a large majority of the prisoners to Afghan custody, in an American-financed, high-security prison outside Kabul to be guarded by Afghan soldiers.
But American officials now concede that the new Afghan-run prison cannot absorb all the Afghans now detained by the United States, much less the waves of new prisoners from the escalating fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
The proposal for a new American prison at Bagram underscores the daunting scope and persistence of the United States military’s detention problem, at a time when Bush administration officials continue to say they want to close down the facility at Guantánamo Bay.

The US will have a major presence in Afghanistan and Iraq for the next 50-100 years, just as Mccain promised.

that's right. even without congressional override power or any say in executive matters, they've somehow managed to destroy america. I am only glad that Bush is so compassionate to allow himself to be bullied by powerless libs.

Third world country? It is not about country being third world, it's about customs and culture.
Look the Muslims want the world time to be switched to "Mecca Time", Muslims outnumber all other religions 6 to 1.
They now have more money than the catholic church.
US is acting pacifists (Harvard allowing their gym to be shit down for 3 hours a day for women in hijabs to workout without men in the gym) they are making Americans change their culture.
When you think "invasion" you think guns and shoot em up, "invasion" is synonymous with "revolt".....first way to engage in revolt = mass numbers of participants

The United States is the greatest country in the world because of our Military.
Not because of self-hating cowards that would let mad men rule the world rather than show some backbone and actually confront them.
