The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the US military is warning about 2,000 troops to prepare for possible deployment to support the state of Israel.

Here’s the news:

The U.S. military has selected roughly 2,000 troops to prepare for a potential deployment to support Israel, U.S. defense officials said. The troops are tasked with missions like advising and medical support, the officials said, and they are from across the U.S. armed services. They aren’t intended to serve in a combat role, the officials said. No infantry have been put on prepare-to-deploy order.

The troops are currently stationed both inside the Middle East and outside, including Europe, the officials said. It isn’t clear under what circumstances the U.S. could deploy the troops or to where, but the Pentagon decision signaled it is preparing to support Israeli troops should Israel launch a ground incursion into Gaza.

Well that’s a big deal. It sounds like to me that we are doing everything we can to dissuade Iran and Hezbollah from creating a new front in this war against Israel.

I just hope that the US isn’t bluffing in trying to deter this axis of evil from joining the fight. The world saw how quickly we pulled out of Afghanistan. That’s got to be in the back of Netanyahu’s mind when the US offers its “unwavering support.”

Speaking of ‘unwavering support’, Biden claimed last night on 60 minutes that it would be big mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza:

 
What a ridiculous thing to say by Biden. This is why Netanyahu knows Biden’s support for Israel is conditional. Occupying and controlling Gaza is absolutely what Israel needs to do for their own security, and yet Biden is already against it. What a putz.
