#2 I think it's great and a sign of the progress we've made.

My hope is that we turned the base over in working condition so that the Iraqis can move in and get to work. And so that we can, in six months, what the place looks like. That will tell us a lot about how responsible the Iraqi army is these days.

#3 900 containerized housing units (CHU's)

In rough figures (last year's prices), that's more than $ 22M USD. Gotta wonner where they all ended up.

#4 removed some 32,000 concrete and dirt barriers, 95,000 metric tons of scrap metal

Sounds like the disassembled the base and even removed the junk pile of destroyed equipment.

#6 Don't know about the housing units. Are they something that one would haul away and re-use or just junk when no longer wanted?
