I'm reading reports that a Jordanian govmnt spokesman says the attack and deaths happened at a US base in Syria (the US al-Tanf base), not on Jordanian soil.

Is Jordan telling the truth or is the western media telling the truth?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I heard from some folks on the ground in CENTCOM.

It hit the Logistics Support Base at Tower 22 on the Jordan/Syria border.

Because all the ME countries do not really get along, crossing international borders with our stuff is often complicated and takes some time.  As a result there are usually small logistical bases at each of the border crossing's in the region to allow cargo that gets stuck there to be taken care of and secured until the proper paperwork or bribes can be arraigned.  In addition, having little outposts around the region lets us forward deploy critical items that may be needed in combat, and it would take to long to get in from the main stores in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Tower 22 is one of these small bases.

For clarity, Tower 22 is a Jordainan Defense Force base on the border, I forget what they call it.  The US has a Logistics Support Base there, and we call our part Tower 22.

I don't know about you guys but I take comfort in knowing that we have the most capable president in history to properly handle such situations and that goes for his administration who I know all members were chosen specifically for their abilities in handling such weighty matters.

Now excuse me while I check supplies in the bunker.

It crossed my mind that maybe Jordan doesn't want their citizens to think the government is allowing folks to bomb their country without ramifications. Plausible deniability for domestic consumption.  It's all smoke, mirrors and deception.

Israel wouldn't last very long without generous US taxpayer funded subsidies, priority resupply and access to US weapon systems and US diplomacy running interference for them on the international stage.

Interesting.  I will say I don't see why we should be sending them (or most anyone else) any free stuff.

What does everyone else think?

We don't send them a lot of free stuff.  Much of it they purchase.  It may be at favorable rates, though I don't really know.

Israel receives several billion dollars a year in US foreign aid.

Probably so they can buy weapons from the MIC.

Yeah, no. That's not a true statement.

We sell them stuff at a good rate, thenwave the payments anyway.  Israel is the top recipient of US foreign aid since WWII.
