Actually the Russian deal hasn't been scrapped.

It scrapped and dead as a doornail.

The US doesn't have Air bases in Iraq. I think you are confusing Iraq for the colony of Qatar or Kuwait. There are a few thousand US Advisors and trainers in Iraq but no permanent Military bases.

There are us basis, and they built them to stay.

If you read Arabic, this Iraqi source states that a new delegation was made to renegotiate the Russian deal.

Baghdadinews is not a reference...and I am fluent in arabic!

Here few, you can google for the rest and they are enormous data on the subject

There is Pentagon and US governmental obfuscation surrounding United States permanent bases in Iraq. Whilst Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defence, continues to deny a permanent US presence there, the facts appear to contradict his statements.

In February 2002, Zoltan Grossman wrote the following cogent perception entitled New US Bases: Side Effects or Causes of War? “Even if this administration pulls combat troops out of Iraq in the future, it intends to keep at least four large permanent military bases, and access or ‘basing rights’ to many smaller bases, to keep control over oil supplies and shipments, support counterinsurgency operations, and to use Iraq as a launching pad against Iran or Syria. The only way that Washington can avoid this impression is to explicitly renounce any future permanent military bases in Iraq.”

On 19 April 2003, A NY Times headline said: “A NATION AT WAR: STRATEGIC SHIFT; PENTAGON EXPECTS LONG-TERM ACCESS TO KEY IRAQ BASES. … “military officials … spoke of maintaining perhaps four bases in Iraq that could be used in the future: one at the international airport just outside Baghdad; another at Tallil, near Nasiriya in the south; the third at an isolated airstrip called H-1 in the western desert, along the old oil pipeline that runs to Jordan; and the last at the Bashur air field in the Kurdish north.

On 23 March 2004, Christine Spolar said in The Chicago Tribune that there was a “long term military presence planned” in Iraq. “U.S. engineers are focusing on constructing 14 “enduring bases,” long-term encampments for the thousands of American troops expected to serve in Iraq for at least two years. The bases also would be key outposts for Bush administration policy advisers.” Major Kimmitt said, “This is a blueprint for how we could operate in the Middle East.” The US was making plans for Iraqi bases in Baghdad, Mosul, Taji, Balad, Kirkuk and in areas near Nasiriyah, near Tikrit, near Fallujah and between Irbil and Kirkuk. There were also plans “to renovate and enhance airfields in Baghdad and Mosul, and rebuild 70 miles of road on the main route for U.S. troops headed north.”

Iraq’s US/UK Permanent Bases : Intentional Obfuscation | Global Research

Plans from 2006 which were never carried out. Right now the US has about 15 thousand Civilian and Military personal in Iraq in the US embassy and Besmaya. It is operated by the Iraqis but it has some US advisers helping with training. There are no bases near Nasiriyah, near Tikrit, near Fallujah and between Irbil and Kirkuk. The road was not built neither.

Get me updated evidence for actual Military bases from 2012 not plans 2006.
The source I posted quotes a government official and it is not the only source. If you are not convinced than we just have to wait. But the russian deal is not the only one. Iraq ordered 420 BTR 4's from Ukraine and posted images of some of them in Iraq.
