baseless restrictions

how exactly is this supposed to be enforced? congress appropriates money to build bases in iraq, on the condition that they not be "permanent." when they build a building how do we know whether the building is permanent?

the odd thing is that this non-permanent base provision can pass but a timetable for leaving can't. the sentiment behind the non-permanent base thing is essentially the same. the only difference is that it's easier to ignore.
