US OPENS BASE IN ISRAEL
On September 18, the U. S. Army officially opened a permanent base on Israeli soil. If I hadn’t read this in the Defense Times, I would NOT have believed this. When was this ever discussed in a public forum ? Major General John Gronski, former deputy commanding general of the Army National Guard, officiated the opening of “Site 883 Life Support Area,” in Beersheba, Israel. It will be the home of US operational systems that ID and intercept perceived threats. “Their presence is not for training or for exercises, but rather as a part of a joint Israeli-American effort to sustain and enhance our defensive capabilities,” said Israeli Air Force Brig. Gen. Zvika Haimovich. Is anyone else concerned by this development ? Gees, what could possibly go wrong with this ?
