Various shots of Gates at base STORYLINE: US Defence Secretary Robert Gates met Kuwaiti officials and inspected vacant land surrounding a US base in Kuwait City on Wednesday. The vacant land is capable of holding the tens of thousands of vehicles and other equipment that would come out of Iraq when US troops begin to leave in large numbers. There are currently close to 160-thousand US troops in Iraq. Gates was filmed as he arrived and was greeted by Kuwait officials. In a 40-minute tour, Gates got a bird's-eye view of two of the most critical parts of an Iraq exit plan: Camp Arifjan, the logistical hub of the Iraqi occupation and the busy Shuaiba Port just south of Kuwait City where ships carry loads of equipment heading in and out of Iraq. Leaving the US Embassy in Kuwait City, the five helicopters carrying Gates, his staff and reporters travelling with him headed south over the bright lights of the bustling city, past the burning smoke stacks dotting one of the largest oil refineries, and across wide stretches of desert. Gates, who is making his first trip to Kuwait since becoming defence chief, is wrapping up a four-day tour of the Middle East.
