AMMAN (Reuters) - The United States has nearly finished setting up an air base in Kurdish-controlled northern Syria and was proceeding with the construction of a second base for dual military and civilian use, a Kurdish website said on Sunday.

The Erbil-based news website BasNews, quoting a military source in the Kurdish-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), said most of the work on a runway in the oil town of Rmeilan in Hasaka was complete while a new air base southeast of Kobani, straddling the Turkish border, was being constructed.

The source in the U.S.-backed alliance that also includes Arab armed groups told the news portal scores of U.S. experts and technicians were involved in the project.

Syrian Kurdish officials had recently said the Rmeilan airstrip was being used by U.S. military helicopters for logistics and deliveries.

1. Building bases on Syrian soil?

And if Syria requests that Russia, there at the request of
the sovereign nation of Syria, blow these bases to holy hell?

3. Then rebuild, and the contracting companies make double.

Other than the U.S. taxpayers, everybody wins!

5. She'd make a long speech to the contracting companies, ...

... charge them a quarter million for the speech, hide the transcripts, collect a donation for her foundation, then have them build some more airfields.

That'll teach'em.
