I wouldn't count on the friendliness of any Gulf State. Sure we used bases, because we had them and they were usable. We might not always have them. They might not always be usable. I would like to see us shift focus away from the airforce (except for long range) and on to the navy. Carrier groups is where our future military greatness lies, in my opinion. We don't need no stinking bases in stinking rag-head countries. In my opinion.

Bahrain is pretty Westernized I think we'll be okay there( after all one of their princesses ran off and married one of our infidel marines stationed there LOL, the guy didn't know she was a princess till afterwords of course, if they didn't kick us out after that I think we are fine).
