#2 Yemen has beautiful coastline that doesn't require overflights over a third country though. And any ships in the area can do double duty swatting pirates from time to time.

Having said that i'd prefer we keep a really low footprint in Yemen.

#3 Djibouti has the bases we need : look at a map for its nice central location to several of the trouble spots. We took over a lot of the Foreign Legion bases and renovated them, once the French had cut back on their commitment.
