In February 2005, U.S. Senator John McCain called for the establishment of permanent U.S. military bases in Afghanistan,[1] saying such bases would be "for the good of the American people, because of the long-term security interests we have in the region".[2]

He made the remarks while visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul as part of a five-member, bi-partisan Senate delegation travelling through the region for talks on security issues. The same delegation also included then-Senator Hillary Clinton, now U.S. Secretary of State.[1]
