- Something significant seems to be happening behind the scenes with Kerry’s statement: “United States no longer seek the removal of Assad” and Biden ordering Turkey out of Iraq. The pull out of F15s from Turkey reinforces Biden’s statement. We will have to wait and see how the western Illuminati intends to prosecute their Greater Middle East war.
– - U.S. Pulls F-15 Fighter Jets from Turkey

The U.S. is withdrawing a dozen F-15 fighters from the key Turkish air base of Incirlik, less than two months after their arrival. The fighters — six F-15Cs from the 48th Fighter Wing and six F-15Es from the 48th Fighter Wing — will be returning to Europe. The U.S. will still maintain a dozen A-10 Warthog close-air support fighters at the base, located about 100 miles from the border with Syria.

The six F-15Cs from the 48th Fighter Wing arrived at Incirlik on Nov. 6 to help protect Turkish airspace. “The F-15C deployment to Incirlik Air Base was always intended to be of short duration and serve not only as an immediate response to a request from the Turkish government, but as an exercise of our ability to deploy aircraft on short notice to Turkey,” said Capt. Thomas Barger, a spokesman for U.S. Air Forces in Europe. “Turkey is fully capable of patrolling and protecting its own airspace.”

The F-15E mission was also a temporary use of U.S. European-based forces to augment the counter-ISIL [Islamic State] mission from Incirlik Air Base, Barger said in an email. Barger declined to say whether the 12 F-15s might be replaced by other aircraft.

“However, one of the advantages of having European-based forces is that they provide our nation with a quick response option when needed, as this temporary deployment clearly proved,” he said.

When the F-15s’ arrival was first announced, Pentagon officials emphasized having the capability located so close to Syria was vital for the fight against the Islamic State, commonly known as ISIS or ISIL. However, on Wednesday, Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis downplayed the removal of the fighters, noting that capability would still be in Europe and able to flow down if necessary.
