when is a base a base?

Gen. Tommy Franks announced that Halliburton is going to be building semi-permanent wooden buildings (you can call them barracks if you like) most likely under the LOGCAP III contract. But wait, didn't Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld say something in April about no bases in Iraq?

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Monday the United States has not considered seeking permanent military bases in postwar Iraq and said the likelihood of such an arrangement was low.

From the New York Times article of July 11, 2003:

At the same time, the Army has hired Halliburton's Kellogg Brown & Root subsidiary to feed and house up to 100,000 troops in Iraq. The contractor could erect large tents, but an Army spokesman said today that the $200 million project ordered last month could also include semi-permanent wooden buildings similar to what American troops in Kosovo use.

[...]

Dan Carlson, a spokesman for the Army's Field Support Command in Rock Island, Ill., said the agreement with Kellogg Brown & Root called for the company to provide housing for up to 100,000 forces at about 20 sites throughout Iraq. The order was first reported this week by Inside the Army, a specialized publication about Army matters.

Question: Are semi-permanent wooden buildings not really considered bases?

Question: Isn't a "base camp" a base?
