In Afghanistan, it now appears the U.S. military will stay in the country for years to come. The Bush administration announced today it is spending $83 million to upgrade two main military bases including Bagram Air Base. New runways are being built to allow NATO F-16s to use the airstrip. The U.S. still has 17,000 troops in Afghanistan. On Saturday four U.S. soldiers there were killed by a landmine.
