it was american policy to get those missiles out and not replace them on the border. In the age of intercontinental missiles, and sub based missiles, they were deamed antiquated and unstable.

"As I said that is BS, but what is likely is that we would have replaced them with Atlas missile's."

Unlikely. The Atlas had the range to reach the USSR without being based in Turkey. Given their vulnerability to non-nuclear attack, it wouldn't make any sense at all to base Atlas missiles there.
