Military base closure snags

The military has undergone several rounds of base closings, done to rid it of unneeded bases and save money. As this artcile talks about, the plan is not going quite as expected due to environmental issues. Many of these bases where fairly polluted, some even have ordanance to be disposed of, and since the bases were not under EPA guidelines they didn't worry about cleanup until they have to. The article talks about how this cleanup process is much slower and much more expensive than the Pentagon initially planned on.

Yeah, cost overruns and poor planning by the Pentagon, that has not happened since what? A month ago?

A new round of base closings is about to gear up, so get ready for some good old fashioned politicking (another word for a freight train of bs).
