US troops deploying to Israel?

Israel Matzav ^ | 1/4/12 | Carl in Jerusalem

I knew there was an anti-missile exercise going on here with the US this month, but for some reason, they're talking about deploying thousands of US troops to Israel. That makes it sound like they plan to stay a while (Hat Tip: Betty W).

Calling it not just an “exercise”, but a “deployment”, the Jerusalem Post quotes US Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc, Commander of the US Third Air Force based in Germany. The US Commander visited Israel two weeks ago to confirm details for “the deployment of several thousand American soldiers to Israel.” In an effort to respond to recent Iranian threats and counter-threats, Israel announced the largest ever missile defense exercise in its history. Now, it’s reported that the US military, including the US Navy, will be stationed throughout Israel, also taking part.

Also confirming the upcoming US-Israeli military missile exercises is JTA.org - 'global news service of the Jewish people'. In their account, they report, 'Last week, plans for Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, to visit Israel in January were leaked to Israeli media; his visit likely will coincide with the largest-ever joint U.S.-Israel anti-missile exercise'.

I agree with where you are going with this. My immediate reaction was CANNON FODDER.

Put together the announcement today of basically laying off thousands of active duty soldiers. You have the regime releasing high ranking Taliban back to their lairs to plot more deaths on our forces in the ME. Then send thousands to Israel to absorb the Iranian nuke and you have a US military that is stretched to a shadow of its former self.

Its all a trap.

Israel can absolutely defend itself but if you want to instigate a fight just plant your forces close to the belligerent country of choice. Now you have the big Satan and little Satan in one place. Iran won’t pass that up!

[Old Sarge]

The chicks are a lot hotter in Israel too

So are their troops...

Iran is a rabid animal pushed in a corner. Only one way out and oil will hit 150.00 quick.

[CynicalBear]

I wouldn’t go anywhere near Damascus that’s for sure.

[garjog]

If Iran attacks and the ME breaks out in massive war it is good to know that we have a firm hand at the nation's helm.

I pray for your son’s future. We will make this right. Deo Vindice

headscratcher of the Year, so far.

Stepan12 sees Mr zero as diabolical schemer,counting on (planning?) his antisemitic base riding high on the blowback.
As a bonus, chance to put Israel, and netanyahu on the D.
Perhaps force them to the Table with the terroristas?
Price, a few US Soldiers. Pure evil.

“Iran error” (false flag explosion=MISSLES!)
provides excuse to use a tactical nuke, here and there?
Lets say, around october 27th?

A complicated mess.
Universal head scratching.
Only thing that is clear, there is no clarity.

But the plot has thickened.

So Obama pulled ground forces out of Iraq and is putting them into Israel and Jordon ? So Iran will be allowed to overrun Iraq, but not take Israel or Jordon. Is that the plan ? I am a little shaky on this new defensive strategy.

Exactly

Israel is the closest thing we have to an ally in that part of the world. A lot of countries we consider allies send troops here to train and coordinate strategies. It would not be particularly unusual for us to send our troops there for the same purpose.

So I’m curious.. If there is a couple missile attacks on us from Hezbollah or similar, Do we just sit and watch the Israeli response, or our we allowed to shoot back?
