Who calls Israel a "stationary aircraft carrier"? I've never ever heard it termed that, as a matter of fact I believe the last time there were US troops stationed in that nation was the Patriot batteries during Desert Storm.

Perhaps you're confusing it with WW2 England? AFAIK that's the only place the term was used...
