BREAKING NEWS: The Pentagon to Send US Troops to Israel. Iran is the Unspoken Target
Blacked-out news story in America...

Global Research, January 4, 2012
whiteoutpress.com

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. 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.

While American troops will be stationed in Israel for an unspecified amount of time, Israeli military personnel will be added to EUCOM in Germany. EUCOM stands for United States European Command.

In preparation for anticipated Iranian missile attacks upon Israel, the US is reportedly bringing its THAAD, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, and ship-based Aegis ballistic missile systems to Israel. The US forces will join Israeli missile defense systems like the Patriot and Arrow. The deployment comes with "the ultimate goal of establishing joint task forces in the event of a large-scale conflict in the Middle East".

The Jerusalem Post reports that US Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc was in Israel meeting with his Israeli counterpart, Brig.-Gen Doron Gavish, commander of the Air Defense Division. While there, the US General visited one of Israel's three â€˜Iron Dome' anti-missile outposts. The Israeli Air Force has announced plans to deploy a fourth Iron Dome system in the coming months. Additional spending increases in the Jewish state will guarantee the manufacture and deployment of three more Iron Dome systems by the end of 2012. The Israelis are hoping to eventually have at least a dozen of the anti-missile systems deployed along its northern and southern borders.

In a show of escalated tensions in the region, Iran test fired two long range missiles today. One, called the Qadar, is a powerful sea-to-shore missile. The other was an advanced surface-to-surface missile called the Nour. According to Iranian state news, the Nour is an â€˜advanced radar-evading, target-seeking, guided and controlled missile'. Additionally, the Iranian military reportedly test-fired numerous other short, medium and long-range missiles. Yesterday, Iranian authorities reported that they test-fired the medium-range, surface-to-air, radar-evading Mehrab missile. Today is supposed to be the final day of Iranian naval drills in the Straits of Hormuz.

Iran recently made global headlines when it threatened to blockade the Straits of Hormuz if Europe and the US went ahead with their boycott of Iranian oil and the country's central bank. One-quarter of the world's oil passes through that waterway every day. President Obama has announced that a closure of the Straits was unacceptable and vowed to take whatever measures are necessary to keep the vital shipping lane open.

In response to the Iranian missile tests this weekend, French authorities were the first to respond, calling it a, "very bad signal to the international community."We want to underline that the development by Iran of a missile program is a source of great concern to the international community,"the French Foreign Ministry said in a written statement. Israeli officials suggested the flamboyant Iranian military drills this weekend were a sign that international sanctions on the country were taking a heavy toll and that any additional boycotts, on its banks or oil industry, would be crippling.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the large missile tests showed, "the dire straits of Iran in light of the tightening sanctions around her, including the considerations in the last few days regarding the sanctions of exporting petroleum as well as the possibility of sanctions against the Iranian Central Bank." While the chances of Iran going through with its threat of closing the Strait of Hormuz are slim, the deployment of thousands of US troops and naval ships to Israel shows the US isn't taking any chances.

This is all assuming that this is true, of course.

Whether it's true or not, military involvement is just a matter of time, really.

I'm pretty sure this is true. There's been a lot of talk in the news about the US making preemptive attacks against Iran.

I... hate... war...

I heard some fat old guy on the news talking about this, saying that the Iranians are "like rebellious teenagers who need to be put in their place." Sounds really pompous to me.

And lets hope the prophecies about ww are false...

Is there really anybody surprised this is happening?

I mean Iran is on the list for 40 years at least maybe.

Rorie · Post by **Rorie** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 23:35

no wonder why 9/11 happened cuz the united states stuck there nose in the middle east where it did not belong had they kept their nose out then they would not be so hated and 9/11 could have been avoided and all those innocent lives would not be in vain. the u.s would rather spend trillions of dollars (which they do not have on weapons and garg) than spending it wisely to provide national health care to all american citizens but that is unlikely now that the country owes trillions in debt

Heh, I saw this yesterday night.

I hope nothing happens. Because it will hurt everyone really bad - the price of petrol is bad enough as it is...

I think I read something about the price going up by 50% if there is war. :/

And the thing is that Iran is not a weak shrimp country either. So, it would be a pretty brutal war against the US, if the US went in.

which is why the u.s needs to keep thier nose out of matters that do not concern them. they have already inflicted enough damage in the middle east they should NOT start a conflict against iran

iran has the capability to wipe out the united states and it's allies and it will happen if the u.s gets involved with iran.

tell the u.s government to spend more on national health care rather than waste it on weapons and starting wars.

then again the u.s wants to control the world and they make a huge mess like they have already done in iraq and afghanistan the logical thing would be to get out bring our troops home and let these countries rebuild themselfs.

many western countries already have massive debt so why continue to loan money to developing nations? there is no way they can afford pay the loans back.

tell our governments to focus on matters in their own countries like housing and feeding the homeless. providing world class health care and provide jobs to everyone and fairer welfare benefits to those who cannot work like the disabled

By raising the price of oil perhaps. But still, I am not too worried and do not think that they would be too powerful.

Rorie wrote:tell the u.s government to spend more on national health care rather than waste it on weapons and starting wars.

They're more likely to waste money on that, by charging a few hundred dollars to take out a splinter. The medical field is a very profitable bandit industry here.

Howabout Libya? It's about to descend into civil war.

Rorie wrote:many western countries already have massive debt so why continue to loan money to developing nations? there is no way they can afford pay the loans back.

They loan money with conditionalities. These strings attached are basically making the poor countries to shoot themselves in the foot. They basically open up and let the western corporations pillage them, to get a little bit of loans or aid or something. This is why debt in those countries increases rather than decreases.

Rorie wrote:tell our governments to focus on matters in their own countries like housing and feeding the homeless. providing world class health care and provide jobs to everyone and fairer welfare benefits to those who cannot work like the disabled

Homeless? Their criminalization has been unofficial policy.
As for jobs, that's a joke. XD I totally agree with you, but they don't care. The discourse is that any such actions are "helping lazy idiots who do not want to work"... such backward thinking has ruined this country.

Rorie wrote:which is why the u.s needs to keep thier nose out of matters that do not concern them. they have already inflicted enough damage in the middle east they should NOT start a conflict against iran

They will just put enough media presence to convince people to support their wars. Then, they will make it that if someone opposes the war, that they would be lunatics. Those opposing iraq's invasion were supposedly traitors. Howabout Libya... the list is endless.

But who profits? The US gains a greater monopoly over the western world's oil resources if the oil supply is cut - I don't think congress will mind that hey.

This is a whole different can of worms, but because the US is allied with Israel, we would have been attacked regardless of whether or not we were actively in the middle east... simply for being allied with Israel. Is it wrong for a nation to help out one of their allies?

Anyway, back on to the topic. I wonder why this sort of news would have been blacked out?

The US helps Israel so much that it's disgusting. Israel has other friends, but it has not been able to milk other countries nowhere near as much as the US.

I am a firm believer that the US hit itself on 9-11 in order to go to war. Did you see that list of inventions that the US did? It is unofficial policy to go in and destabilize/screw countries.
And other countries do not want revenge. No. They're above that. They just want the US to get the F**** OUT of their affairs.
