Will Israel be a staging area for invasions ?
Syria first, then Iran ?
The presence of U.S. troops in Israel would certainly be a deterrent for would be attackers.
WW3 "command post" ? Hmmm
What will Turkey's role be ?
This kind of large scale "exercise" can't just be for Gaza rockets can it ?
Something bigger is happening.
from business Insider Dec 20, 2011:
Israel just announced it has finalized a deal with Lt. General Frank Gorenc, commander of the US Third Air Force in Germany, that will bring
several thousand U.S. troops and two advanced missile systems to the country for an unprecedented defense drill.
Yaakov Katz of the Jerusalem Post reports the "largest-ever" missile defense exercise will commence this spring, in response to Iran's nuclear
ambitions.
Does This US And Israel Joint Missile Defense Drill Say Anything About Plans For Iran?
