  The KC-135s were purchased before the Iraq War and are meant to support our fighters who are stationed around the world for training missions.
  
  How else do you think they can fly back from CONUS? Rent Antonovs? Better we have the strategic airlift support of our own.
  
  Don't look towards the ME as the reason for the Stratotankers. Look North East.
