The US still has 50,000 troops in IRAQ occupying the country, and this is being put off as a US withdrawl from IRAQ, what a crock.
anti-terrorist activities have no difference in meaning when it comes to the US WAR ON TERROR.
It basically pegs occupational forces in IRAQ as terrorists rather than resistance forces. |

| It's pretty clear the combat mission is over. Nobody ever said all American troops would be withdrawn. |

| The US also has approx 57,000 troops in Germany, 33,000 in Japan, and 27,000 in South Korea... I wonder how the Germans and Japanese feel about their occupying imperialist American overloards. |

Don't forget the thousands of troops in Saudi Arabia and several of the former Soviet republics in Central Asia. |

Actually, the US is out of Saudi Arabia (except a select few that are there by invite of the government). That's one of the biggest reasons why the Iraq war went down... US needed to find new places for a presence in the region because the Sauds wanted them out. I'm not aware of any deployments to former Soviet republics... you sure on that? |

Na they have bases all over the former USSR.
Including contracts not to prosecute the US govt. for crimes they commit while stationed there.
They got them through a bunch of arms deals etc..
Often by supplying them so they could take on opposition in the area.

There are listed sites:

The US has also stated they have various global CIA installations as well as black ops in various countries not listed in normal deployments over the last 5 years.

PS I'm not sure of the current status due to a number of civil wars and government overthrows over the last year or two.
Take this only as hearsay as this is how it was presented to me - I have no inside knowledge whatsoever.
There is no little birdy on my shoulder telling me US state secrets.
Clearly the official list of US operational military bases is the solid information...
An example - the US actually supplied equipment when Russia was in contact with the Georgian forces in georgia
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/rozoff/pushes.htm
The president of georgia was actually educated in the US.
The Russians are said to have captured some of that equipment including US cryptographic systems supplying US coding.
