Additional U.S. troops are being rushed to the Middle East during a rise in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah terrorist forces in Lebanon that has elevated risks of a wider regional war, the Pentagon said Monday.
AP reports Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder would provide no details on how many additional forces or what they would be tasked to do. Their precise geographical region of deployment has also not been disclosed.

Ssssh....
Wars and Rumors of Wars.
I thought we had all the oil we needed…..
There is that really low amount in SPR, if much at all.
I can hear it now: “Ok, instead of poking the bear directly, how about we start WWIII by heating up the Middle East hotter? I mean, conservatives love Israel; they’ll surely vote for Harris if we do that, right? And if it looks like they won’t, we’d still have a built in reason to cancel the election! It’s a win win!”

Insane!
What could possibly go wrong?
