Rice Assured on Future of Kyrgyz Base

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice won fresh promises Tuesday that U.S. forces can remain at a pivotal Central Asian air base that she called a front line in the war on terrorism.

2. It seems like this one has been yoyoing back and forth for a while now.

One month, the U.S. can stay. The next month the lease is being canceled. Then, they can stay again.
