Clinton calls Kyrgyzstan base-closure decision ‘regrettable’
Kyrgyzstan’s decision to close a strategic U.S. military base is "regrettable," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday, but it won’t affect the U.S. military effort in nearby Afghanistan.

The United States uses the base as a route for troops and supplies for Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstani President Kurmanbek Bakiyev announced Tuesday that "all due procedures" were being initiated to close Manas Air Base.
"It’s regrettable that this is under consideration by the government of Kyrgyzstan, and we hope to have further discussions with them," Clinton told reporters after a meeting with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner. "But we will proceed in a very effective manner no matter what the outcome of the Kyrgyzstan government’s deliberations might be."
