...tractors, cargo loaders and other gear as engineers patch runways and refurbish rusty lighting and communications deep inside the tiny republic of Kyrgyzstan, tucked amid the mountains in what used to be the Soviet Union's southeast corner. Two weeks ago, the first U.S. warplanes - six Marine F-18 fighter-bombers - moved in, relieving the strain on Navy pilots stretching 600 miles from carriers in the Arabian...
