I didn't see in the article where exactly in Basra this is. Is this at the Basra Airport? Or at Sadaam's old palace facility? The only other
"Basra" base I am familiar with was the Brittish base at the port of Basra...Anyone know where this actually is?

Good stuff. Atleast there is some recreation out there for our troops. The building opened on Oct. 4 this year, but I wonder how long it will be there. With the US supposedly pulling out of Iraq, I wonder why they took so long to build a place like this.
The facility, which will be open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, offers Soldiers the opportunity to come and hang out with friends while enjoying some luxuries Soldiers do not usually have access to here, said SSG Julie Lewandowski, MWR noncommissioned officer-in-charge.
The facility is currently equipped with televisions with Armed Forces Network connections, movies, video and board games, books, a foosball table and a massage chair. According to the Minnesota Army National Guard Soldier and Minneapolis, MN resident, more is expected to arrive, such as a pool table.
