    Damage To U.S. Bases In The Middle East Prompts Pentagon To Consider Pulling Back Troops: Report

    The U.S. Army is considering pulling back troops from the Middle East as the impact of the Iran war becomes increasingly evident, according to a new report.  The Washington Post claimed that the Defense Department has already signaled it might not rebuild struck bases as they were before the war began.


    Think the $37.5B Chump says the war cost counts all the destruction of hardware & buildings on the FSoA bases?  How much do you think it would cost to rebuild?  Now that it's obvious we can't defend them, it's just flushing money down the toilet.

    On the other hand, without the bases how does the FSoA protect it's Oil interests?  Basically, it becomes still more dependent on Israel as the only Regional country from which to launch the Death from Above and can fairly reliably keep FSoA grunts supplied with food, soap and ammo, at lest as long as the Eurotrash are still on the same side.

    Once the FSoA does pull back, how long before the countries surrounding Israel gang up to try and even the score in the Extermination game?  They have a lot of catching up to do.  Or else maybe the Sunnis & the Shiites decide to settle once and for all who has the right interpretation of the Koran?  Either way, the amount of Oil flowing out of the region will probably be pretty thin.

    So far with Hormuz, only about 20% of global oil trade has been impacted.  What happens when that percentage creeps up to 30 or 40%?

    The slow motion train wreck still rolling along.
