I agree that it is all contingent. That's why I put 'if'.

If the U.S. pulls out of Iraq I think one would be justified in believing that a large percentage of U.S. troops will be stationed in The Base.

Start by looking from the left side, you will notice that there are 4 rows of buildings, the first row are buildings with only small doors, there are no large doors we can see for trucks so I don’t believe they are warehouses, those doors are for people to walk through. You will noticed the next two rows are the same and then the forth row are buildings for offices or storage they have larger doors.

Our reporters write that it is be a forward base for the impending New Middle East. This would mean the housing of troops. It is my belief that some of those troops will be US or NATO, same thing. I don’t see a forward base of this size being manned only by non-US troops. We have our hand in everything.

Forget Israeli sovereignty. Our precious and holy land will soon be used as a forward base for the impending New Middle East.

The possibility of deploying North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops in the Middle East, as they did in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Afghanistan, has emerged.

After contacts in Israel and Palestine, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly submitted to these two countries a proposal on deploying NATO forces in the region. Palestine has approached the NATO proposal positively, Israel has not said "no" but gave the message that they "will evaluate the situation according to the developments".

The U.S. military has maintained a presence at Incirlik since the 1950s, and because the base is only an hour's flight from Iraq, it is an ideal location to support the rotations.

In the much smaller Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan bases we have, had in the case of Uzbekistan, 800 and 1,000 troops

The US regional presence includes two key air bases that have handled tens of thousands of US flights - Manas air base north of Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, where more than 1,000 troops are stationed, and the Karshi-Khanabad air base in Uzbekistan, with at least 800 US troops. The US also has overflight rights, "gas and go" refueling agreements and emergency landing agreements with these countries.

Maybe our troops will not be prominent in the Holy Land in the beginning but it is a foot in the door and this seems to be what the Jews fear.
