I thought that from the beginning. Obama’s motives for having troops in Israel should not and cannot be trusted. I hope the leaders in the military have some backbone and a moral compass.
The U.S. has had a TPY-2 X-band radar in Israel for about decade, operated by contractors and nominally under U.S. control. The Israelis like to make of show of being self sufficient in matters of defense, but the U.S. has the big iron in missile defense. The U.S. recently approved the first ever foreign military sale of TPY-2 to Kuwait, in December. Iran must feel the noose tightening.
