US Troops going to Israel
“January 2, 2012. Jerusalem. In one of the most blacked-out
stories in America right now, the US military is preparing to send thousands of
US troops, along with US Naval anti-missile ships and accompanying support
personnel, to Israel. It took forever to find a second source for confirmation
of this story and both relatively mainstream media outlets are in Israel. With
one source saying the military deployment and corresponding exercises are to
occur in January, the source providing most of the details suggests it will
occur later this spring.”

“The first of 9,000 incoming US troops have arrived in
Israel – not just for the joint Austere Challenge 12 exercise but for a longer
stay. They are part of the joint US-Israel deployment ready for a military
engagement with Iran and its possible escalation into a regional conflict. A US
aircraft carrier will soon arrive for joint missions with the Israeli Air
Force. Most of the US arrivals are airmen, missile interceptor teams, marines,
seamen, technicians and intelligence officers…”

“ U.S. European Command (EUCOM) has deployed to
Israel a high-powered X-band radar and the supporting people and equipment
needed for coordinated defense against Iranian missile attack, marking the
first permanent U.S. military presence on Israeli soil.”

I’m unfamiliar with
Whiteoutpress.com. Debka.com, however,
is a highly reliable resource. The
deployment of troops to Israel can have several meanings in today’s changing
foreign policy concerns. Obviously, some
facets of the media were privy to operational plans by last September.
I’m eager to see a coordinated
anti-ballistic missile project blending U.S. and Israeli hardware and other
resources. This coordination will
hopefully provide a boost-phase destruction capability that will destroy
in-bound ballistic missiles while they are still in Iranian airspace, thus
dropping any debris and payload material back upon Iranian soil.
Debka.com seems to be anticipating
initiation of shooting hostilities sooner than later. Iran may well be painting itself into a corner
as it uses military demonstrations to distract its populace from the economic
hardships that sanctions are creating.
Evidence of this can be found in the Iranian media. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28497
is one example of state-sponsored propaganda and official bombast. To describe the Iranian navy as “prodigious”
is truly amusing. Their midget subs and
speedboat surface fleet may serve as suicide boats to attack unarmed tankers
and container ships, but in any real naval battle European and U.S. fleets will come home with brooms
attached to their uppermost signal halyards.
We can ill
afford another war and don’t need the economic disruption and loss of lives
that a shooting war with Iran will yield.
However, Iran’s brown-water navy and religious fanatics can’t be allowed
to block free transit of sea-lanes, and can’t be allowed to believe that it can
attack Israel, the U.S., or European nations without suffering extreme and
immediate consequences. While the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars were not justified once the Taliban were initially
deposed, Iran has already been proven to be the main source of funds and
materials used to attack U.S. embassies, naval vessels, and other locations;
and to be furnishing Iranian-manufactured mines and shaped warheads to
insurgents in Iraq. They’ve already
provided ample reason to consider ourselves at war with Iran.
Shabbat Shalom!
