War Drums: Patriot Missiles, 400 U.S. Troops Being Deployed to Turkey

Panetta Signs Order Sending Patriot Missiles, 400 Troops to Turkey

INCIRLIK, TURKEY – DECEMBER 14: US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta (L) talks with Col. Christopher E. Craige, Commander of the 39th Air Base Wing at Incirlik Air Base on December 14, 2012 in Incirlik, Turkey. Following the US Defense Secretary’s meeting with Afghan president Hamid Karzai and top Afghan officials during his three-day visit to Afghanistan, Secretary Panetta met with US troops and commanders, as the US looks towards a decision on troop numbers once the US-led coalition ends in late 2014.

NCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey (AP) — The U.S. will send two batteries of Patriot missiles and 400 troops to Turkey as part of a NATO force meant to protect Turkish territory from potential Syrian missile attack, the Pentagon said Friday.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta signed a deployment order en route to Turkey from Afghanistan calling for 400 U.S. soldiers to operate two batteries of Patriots at undisclosed locations in Turkey, Pentagon press secretary George Little told reporters flying with Panetta.

Germany and the Netherlands have already agreed to provide two batteries of the U.S.-built defense systems and send up to 400 German and 360 Dutch troops to man them, bringing the total number of Patriot batteries slated for Turkey to six.

German lawmakers voted 461-86 Friday to approve the deployment of two Patriot missile batteries. The mandate allows Germany to deploy a maximum 400 soldiers through January 2014. NATO foreign ministers endorsed Turkey’s request for the Patriots on Nov. 30.

A number of Syrian shells have landed in Turkish territory since the conflict in the Arab state began in March 2011. Turkey has condemned the Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad, supported Syrian rebels and provided shelter to Syrian refugees. Ankara is particularly worried that Assad may get desperate enough to use chemical weapons.

During a brief stop at Incirlik Air Base, Panetta told U.S. troops that Turkey might need the Patriots, which are capable of shooting down shorter-range ballistic missiles as well as aircraft.

He said he approved the deployment “so that we can help Turkey have the kind of missile defense it may very well need to deal with the threats coming out of Syria,” he said.

The U.S., Germany and the Netherlands are the only NATO members who have the upgraded PAC-3 missiles, capable of missile interception. Each battery has an average of 12 missile launchers, a NATO official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because alliance regulations do not allow him to speak on the record.

In a statement issued Friday NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said “the deployment will be defensive only.”

“It will not support a no-fly zone or any offensive operation. Its aim is to deter any threats to Turkey, to defend Turkey’s population and territory and to de-escalate the crisis on NATO’s south-eastern border,” Lungescu said.

Panetta did not mention how soon the two Patriot batteries will head to Turkey or how long they might stay.

Earlier this week in Berlin, German Deputy Foreign Minister Michael Link told lawmakers that current plans call for the missile sites to be stationed at Kahramanmaras, about 60 miles north of Turkey’s border with Syria. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Thursday that the Netherlands, Germany and the U.S. are working closely with Turkey “to ensure that the Patriots are deployed as soon as possible.” But he predicted they would not become operational before the end of January. Turkey joined NATO in 1952, three years after the alliance was formed.

At Incirlik Air Base, about 60 miles north of the Syrian border, an Air Force member asked Panetta what the US would do if Syria used chemical or biological weapons against the rebels. Panetta said he could not be specific in a public setting, but added, “we have drawn up plans” that give President Barack Obama a set of options in the event that U.S. intelligence shows that Syria intends to use such weapons.

Asked by another Air Force member whether he thought Syria would “react negatively” to the Patriot deployments, Panetta said, “I don’t think they have the damn time to worry” about the Patriots since the regime’s leaders are struggling to stay in power.

He indicated that Syria’s reaction to the Patriots was not a major concern to him.

Separately, NATO will deploy its Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft, or AWACS, to Turkey on a training exercise this month, the NATO said.

He said the exercise was not connected to the deployment of the Patriots.

The aircraft, which can detect launches of ground-to-ground missiles, will exercise command and control procedures as well as test the connectivity of various NATO and Turkish communications and data sharing systems, the official said.

The plutocrats can’t seem to find a way to cut defense spending? Lindsey Graham says if we cut too much we can’t defend all the hot spots? It’s military welfare like this that is running up the deficit. One third of DoD budget is military welfare tied to foreign entanglements or about $180bn.
$650bn buys a lot of votes and not one candidate is serious about cutting in their home district. “Why cut $50 bin? That would leave the US entirely defenseless!”

  It’s more than that, Truthseeker.
  
  There will be direct NATO involvement unless the FSA can defeat President Assad by themselves – and so far that seems unlikely. The NATO nations are amassing military power in the immediate area with the clear intention of using it, if necessary, to get the regime changed in Syria. A regime change, incidentally, that was engineered by the House of Saud and Qatar.
  
  A seemingly important point is that the vast majority of Syrians do not want the MB anywhere near the levers of power.
  
  The Qatari Emir supports the Muslim Brotherhood with massive amounts of money, but they have been told, in no uncertain terms, to stay out of Qatar. If one of the MB’s staunchest supporters doesn’t want them, why should the Syrians welcome them?
  
  The fact is that no-one cares what the Syrians want. It’s what they are going to get that matters.

God forbid these things ever get fired, it means all hell is breaking loose and WWIII is possibly on the horizon. It will be a hell of a display if Patriots are launched and Russia responds by launching Iskanders. Don’t know if Russia makes anything that actually works let alone support the cost of launching missiles this expensive on a continued basis.

What I want to ask at this time for all of us who have taken the oath, is why are we allowing treason to go unpunished? Why hasn’t anyone stepped up? The Generals past and present have to recognize that we have a traitor in the White House. They don’t give a crap about the country. Hence the silence on Benghazi. They are too worried about their pensions or promotions. Meanwhile, the Communists gain more power, destroy our currency, destroy our economy, destroy our military. Our military is our only hope against this tyrant yet they stand idly by watching the decimation of our nation. Question is, who’s side are they on?.

Sounds like Turkey has gone the route of the mysterious ” rebels” – whose make-up seems to be a bit ” mixed ! ” Remember Benghazi ? Wish someone would remember the past actions of our Chicago radicals , like Ayers. Once a criminal…

  @ Brother Winston Smith
  
  Do you ever have anything constructive to say? It seems to the casual observer that your reason for existence is to regurgitate the cherry Kool-Aid of the Church of Ron Paul. Ron Paul, who by the way, has been a career politician since at least 1988, his first run for the White House. Ron Paul whose political practices have long included the packing of pork into bills he knows will pass despite his token offering of opposition.
  
  It can’t be argued that those among us who vote Red/Blue -without consideration for the integrity of the candidate- need to change our way of thinking. So do you. You’re guy has been seeking power for himself for 25 years! He’s been in Congress for almost two decades. He is no different. He wants power. He abandoned the Libertarian party to further his quest for it, yet, Libertarians believe that he did it for “the Cause”.
  
  The problem with power is that it attracts exactly the sort of people who should never be allowed to have it. Ron Paul, as his decades long dedication shows, is a man seeking after power. Are we to believe that he alone is seeking power for our benefit? Sounds like sheep thinking to me.

  ————————
  DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Twin suicide car bombs ripped through a Damascus suburb minutes apart on Wednesday, killing at least 34 people, state media said, and rebels claimed they shot down a Syrian air force fighter jet.
  
  The state news agency, SANA, said suicide bombers detonated two cars packed with explosives early in the morning in the eastern suburb of Jaramana, a Christian and Druse area known as mostly loyal to President Bashar Assad.

  @Gary_K While I understand GB needs to utilize selective information and biased interpretation what is your purpose. Bush and the military industrial complex (Cheney) got us into Iraq unnecessarily. And or course the middle east was nothing more than a replacement for the bogus Russian scare. Turkey has more than enough troops to defend itself so there is really no reason for us to be in Turkey other than another BS coalition to invade Syria. Perhaps it is time we invest in the US, and in something other than weapons and uneventful sabre rattling. Your assertion that the PRESIDENT is responsible for our failed middle eastern policy over the past 50 years and trigger happy military and military contractors is nothing short of laughable. Despite the rational objection and ending of the Vietnam dishonorable war, our country continues to fall for successive created conflicts and managed wars. There is no honor in serving or dying in any conflicts the US should not have been a party to creating and should not have participated. As Ron Paul correctly points out it is correctly termed National Defense.

  If there were no Al Qaeda & no Muslim Brotherhood fighting Assad, then if Obama helped the rebels I would be happy.
  
  As it is the jihadis are 5,000 out 30,000 rebels. They are the best organized & fight the hardest. After Assad falls I am sure that Al Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood will clean up. I don’t know if that will be 1 to 5 years, but clean up they will. Then we will have to worry about them.

  We have troops there already. Have had since the earliest days of the Cold War. The Turks are being provided with Patriot Missile systems and enough troops to operate them at first while others train the Turks. To me this looks like a mirror image of what happened with Israel during Desert Shield. We sent troops and Patriot systems there. Our troops operated them at first while others trained the Israelis. They pulled out afterwards when the Israeli’s assumed full operations of the systems. We are not just inserting troops into a new country.

  CAVALLO, While I can see that sentiment, I am primarily remembering the Turkish troops with whom I had previously worked in Germany and while at SHAPE, Belgium. Knowing that we have troops stationed there still as we did well before I entered the service and I have been retired for just over 16 years now. Just as we have a sorry administration I still have hopes for this country. Just because Turkey has a sorry administration currently does not mean that I will simply give up on them. Until very recently Turkey has been our strongest ally in the area since the earliest days of the Cold War. I’d trust Turkey even today over the likes of Mexico at any time.

Putin warned O’bolshevik that Syria is a red line and all of us citizens will pay the price for his arrogance. He has never lost nor forgot the lessons of the past. Oh what a shame it will be when oh say….the dollar is attacked! They understand that all the central banks of the West have crossed the ‘Rubicon’ in their money printing scheme and the only thing underpinning the dollar is the unimpeded flow of oil!

  Israel is going to have to learn to defend itself, which it is quite good at. The USA nor anyone else is likely to be their ally. Jew hatred runs strong and deep and it is why the Holocaust happened. I don’t buy for one second that line of crap of “we just didn’t know!”

  Obama will send none to defend them, probably a lot to invade them with his Islam Extremist allies.
