US Combat Troops To Gaza? Say It Ain't So, Joe!

Media is reporting that President Biden is about to deploy some 2,000 US troops to the Gaza region in response to the recent unrest between Israel and Hamas. An additional 2,000 Marines are reported to join them and an additional 10,000 troops may be deployed in the two US Carrier Strike Groups that the US has sent to Israel's coast. Is Biden sneaking the US into a massive Middle East war?

Preparing For 2,000 Troops 00:09:30
Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report.
With us today is Daniel McAdams, our co-host.
Daniel, good to see you.
Good morning, Dr. Paul.
How are you this morning?
Doing fine.
Good, lots going on.
Better than they're doing in the Middle East.
No kidding.
What a mess.
Yes, yes.
And we have to remind ourselves, and we remind a few viewers because they know the significance of it.
Day to day, sometimes, oh, big things are going to happen, and they don't, and they delay it.
But it seems like it's been perpetual.
And since, you know, I've been watching this type of news for a long time because as a very young person, I can remember my dad being very attentive to the news with his kids, you know, in the late 30s, and then on Pearl Harbor, that sort of thing.
And he listened to all those things when the news came on, you know, stop and listen.
But now we listen to it, and sometimes it's a warning, sometimes it's not a big warning, and it's a misinformation, and the whole thing.
But it seems like during my lifetime, these kind of news things have occurred routinely.
I mean, we haven't had it.
We don't get a break.
Where's the next war going on, the killing going to happen?
But anyway, the big event right now is happening, which suggests to me, and I'm sure you, that good things aren't coming about.
There's talks about America's involved.
We know they're involved, and we know they spend a lot of money.
And yet, we have red lines.
We will not put troops on the soil of Israel.
We're not going to put troops in Ukraine.
We'll just call them FBI agents of the special forces.
All that nonsense.
So the money and technology and interference, because a lot of people still in America, they don't think of this as an empire in a contest for more territory.
They brush it off that they're responding to what bad people do.
But we respond as an empire, and it always happens, expansion of war.
If they have not yet attacked us, we'll get them to attack us so that we have an excuse.
But right now, there's a lot more talk since the Palestinians did their damage in Israel, which was significant as far as I'm concerned.
There's no need for that kind of stuff if people were interested in peace, but they're not.
So that happened.
But now it's going back and forth.
What's Israel going to do in our program so far?
I've commented.
I said, you know, it seems to be slow.
Every day, they're preparing.
They're preparing.
They're lining up.
And I keep figuring, what are they?
Are they ambivalent?
They don't know what to do, or is this a strategy or what?
But it keeps building.
It doesn't go away.
And right now, today, prepare for 2,000 troops.
Most people agree that we're ready to send 2,000 troops over there and a couple aircraft carriers.
The whole works.
But there's even now, now that this story broke out in the open about the 2,000 troop, there could be more.
It could be thousands more, and why not?
You know, I keep thinking, you know, probably the most significant thing, how many troops are in there secretly?
How many CIA agents are there?
How many special forces are there there and in Ukraine and Israel and in Gaza?
We have them around there.
But now the big thing is the increase.
Then the rhetoric breaks out.
Of course, the rhetoric has to be very strong.
Israel has warned.
And I tend to believe what they're saying.
The very big, big invasion into Gaza hasn't occurred yet.
But then there's other people that have interests.
Lebanon has an interest.
And what are they going to do?
And the other big one is Iran.
What are they going to do?
And also, the closer we get here, the worst thing is at least we pretend we're not supposed to be there and we can fib.
But boy, let's say 20,000 troops land in Gaza.
Then the whole thing is totally opened up.
Then that's a very broad war.
And that's what I dread.
But that's the type of talk right now on.
And Iran hasn't been totally silent.
It's been reported that they say, don't mess with us.
You probably aggravate us.
And they all, you know, one of the aggravations that the Palestinians had was that, you know, they thought the United States was supporting, and this was one of the excuses for 9-11, are helping Israel more than they helped the Palestinians.
And it just goes on and on.
And right now, it seems to be building.
It isn't an event that is slowly disappearing.
It's an event that's smoldering.
And the news we get today, I would say it's more threats to us.
And we have to be very aware of this.
Well, after the attack by Hamas last Saturday in Israel, where they took out several bases, they took a lot of Israeli IDF officers and forces hostage, and they're holding them hostage.
After that, of course, then Israel began to flatten Gaza, and they've essentially flattened it completely.
They cut off food, water, and electricity, which are considered war crimes.
The population is separate from Hamas.
Hamas is the fighting group.
The rest of the population, it would be like if someone had the ability to cut off water and power for the U.S. because the government in Washington invaded Iraq, right?
We didn't do it.
They did it.
But nevertheless, it's collective punishment.
So now after a few days of doing that, they've been prepared, as you say, for the ground invasion.
But for some reason, they've hesitated thus far.
And there are a lot of theories.
They've said, well, the weather's not good.
And that doesn't really hold a lot of water to say that.
There's a lot of speculation.
And in fact, there's an article in Foreign Affairs, which is very, very, the mainstream of U.S. foreign policy community saying that if Israel goes into Gaza, it will be an absolute disaster for Israel.
This is not the kind of warfare that they're designed to fight.
It's urban warfare.
Hamas has the advantage because of the tunnels.
And even, in fact, ironically, the broken down buildings give them a lot more hiding places.
So going in is not a great idea.
So it seems like they're hesitating.
So now in this, as you say, this kind of what's going to happen next environment, well, here comes the Biden administration staggering in like a drunk into a bar.
And let's put this first clip up.
Oh, what should we do?
Well, let's send some troops there.
This is the Military Times is the first article.
This is from yesterday afternoon.
2,000 U.S. troops on notice to deploy as Israel-Hamas war intensifies.
Now the administration clarified that they would be involved in medical activities and things of that nature.
They're not going to be deploying into Gaza to fight.
But now there's some speculation because in addition to these 2,000, if you go to the next one, we're seeing from responsible statecraft and other outlets.
We talked about it just before the show that it appears in addition to those 2,000, we may be seeing an additional 4,000, an additional 2,000, because the U.S. Marine Rapid Response Unit of 2,000 Marines and sailors announced for Israel-Gaza, reportedly separate from the pre-deployment orders for 2,000 troops announced last night.
So if that's indeed the case, you've got 2,000 potentially combat troops in addition to the other 2,000.
But responsible statecraft, again, if we can go to that next clip, they also point out it doesn't end there.
Meanwhile, they write, carrier groups can carry about 10,000 personnel between the two of them and bring significant firepower and strategic capabilities to bear.
The USS Ford, aside from its fighter aircraft and missiles, sails with the Ticanderoda-Groga-class guided missile cruiser Normandy and the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, et cetera, et cetera.
These ships carry surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, and anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
So the Biden administration has two carrier groups and additional deployed ships, combat ships, and now 14,000, 20,000 soldiers.
Where do you get the authorization to do this?
Nazi Demonstrations and Empires 00:02:20
They don't seem to worry about that anymore.
So that, of course, was changed in a major sort of way after World War II.
And they know exactly what they're doing.
They want free reign.
But that's the way empires work.
You know, the power gets more authoritarian and more vicious, more spendthrift.
But that's also the sign that empires come to an end.
So right now, we notice that the animosity against Israel has been around for a long time, especially since the 30s and the 40s and all the way up.
And there's a lot of anti-Semitic activity going on.
But what seems to have changed under these circumstances is it's in broad daylight again.
It was there and people knew about it and they read about the Nazis and all this.
But all of a sudden, you see demonstrations.
If they did occur, they sort of got by me.
But the demonstrations against Israel.
And I don't think all those are motivated for the same reason.
There's different reasons why that happens.
But that means this is a deep-seated conviction of the sides that are involved because the way the Palestinians have been treated, they're not going to say, oh, okay, send us a few dollars or something.
We'll be all right if you just help us rebuild.
But it's getting much, much worse of that.
And I think when you see these demonstrations in New York and different places, you have to look at it in the context of exactly why it's happening.
But it's still something that has not been happening over the last decade or two.
Yeah, and I think perceptions are changing.
I was looking at an NBC poll.
I didn't bring it up, but I was looking at it yesterday, and it was talking about support for Israel.
Maybe I mentioned it on the show yesterday, but how it's mostly the baby boomer generation that has a very high percentage of support for Israel.
But now the Gen Z and the younger, they just don't have that.
It's not part of their DNA.
They're not really as in favor of Israel.
President's Authority in Crisis 00:16:03
But the thing about this deployment, Dr. Paul, that gets me, first of all, I think this is why the framers designed our system as it is, because this is precisely where you need Congress to be available to say, now hang on a minute, Biden.
What are you up to?
What is going on here?
Now, obviously, the president has some limited ability to respond to emergencies, but this isn't an attack on the U.S.
And we do not have a treaty with Israel, a defense treaty with Israel.
So this is why we need Congress.
What are you doing, Biden?
Why are you sending these troops here?
What is the goal?
What is the strategy?
What is the end game?
You're deploying a significant portion of the United States military capability off the shores of Israel, and you haven't told us a thing about what's happening.
You haven't told the American people only the slogans, we're going to stand by Israel till the end of time.
Well, that's not really good enough when you're talking about the potential for a massive explosion here, and you don't hear anything about it.
You know, you start off by talking about authority.
Where do they get the authority?
And the authority for certain things, military short of war, has been known from the very beginning because Jefferson dealt with this.
But he specifically would go to the Congress and say, this is what we have to do for freedom shipping on the seas and be able to defend themselves.
But it was very specific, and he had the authority.
But today, you know, it used to be for a while they thought the authority, the founders wanted the authorities for a real war to come from a congressional vote and from the people.
But now it's authority, even if you give them authority to use military force, supposedly in a restrained fashion, they don't care.
They do it for anything.
I mean, just think of the authority to do something about the people who contributed and got involved in 9-11.
They were using that, and people are trying to get rid of all that attitude that you do one little authority.
Oh, yeah, Jefferson got authority to fight the barbered pirates, so we still have it.
The restraint on the Constitution doesn't exist.
And that goes to show that things that are written, the rules that are written, they're about as good as the people that want to live by them.
So you have to have decent people if you want decent laws to be enforced.
Yeah, well, we're in trouble then.
Okay, right.
In many ways.
But I think it really is a legitimate question.
What is the target of all of this military assets there?
And one of the gentlemen that I read a lot, and I mentioned him, I think, in my speech in D.C., is Will Scriver.
And he's a very, very thoughtful strategic thinker, I would call him.
And he makes this following point in a tweet.
And I recommend following his account, by the way.
He says, so, a large amphibious assault flotilla will join the two carrier battle groups assembling in the near, in the eastern Mediterranean.
Many believe this is just power projection posturing.
I find that explanation deficient.
This is a war fleet, and Hamas is not its target, which of course makes sense because Hamas is hiding underground in Gaza right now.
You don't need these kinds of assets.
So what is the target?
Let's do the next one.
This is the Jerusalem Post reporting this morning that the IDF is striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, and Hezbollah is striking back.
It's not a full-blown warfare, but I think Hezbollah took out a tank this morning.
So they are now having skirmishes in the north.
So the question is, what is this carrier group for?
What are these 15,000 troops for?
Well, our friend Bernard at Moon of Alabama, who I always I've read for years and years, He has a good article I would recommend to read.
If you can go ahead and put that back up, if you don't mind.
He agrees.
He says Hamas isn't the target.
And then he had some quotes from the 60 Minutes interview that we focused on yesterday, Dr. Paul, kind of teasing what might be.
And Scott Pelly from 60 Minutes said, would you support Israeli occupation of Gaza?
Biden said, I think that would be a big mistake.
Look, what happened in Gaza, in my view, is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don't represent the Palestinian people.
I think it'd be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza again.
We, but going in, but taking out the extremists in Hezbollah up north, but Hamas down south, it is a necessary requirement.
No, that's just Biden's speak.
But anyway, he goes on to talk about how Hezbollah is a powerful Islamist militia to Israel's north, which is trained and armed by Iran.
So it sounds to me like Biden here is saying, no, Israel should not go into Gaza.
Not a good idea.
The real targets should be Hezbollah in Lebanon.
But you think about that.
We've been there and done that.
And as you famously pointed out in many speeches, Reagan realized what a disaster it was to get involved in Lebanon.
So it's hard to believe that Biden wants to do that again.
Yeah, and to me, they don't understand exactly what they're doing and how dangerous it is.
And it's always a pretense, you know, that they're going to bring about peaceful things.
And it's also what a president says, the words they say, has to be questioned on all presidents because all presidents have to bend the truth a bit now and then.
But the current president does more than bend it.
And so when he says something, well, it's not halfway reasonable not to go in there.
But then what is the catch?
Well, we won't go in.
We'll keep Israel out of Gaza, but we're going to go after Hezbollah.
But maybe it's because we have to be careful about Gaza because there was a time when the Israelis supported all that with all that money and all that.
And bring them about.
Mix it up a bit.
Well, what Bernard in Moon of Alabama is putting forth, and I think there's a reason to consider it, is really bringing in the issue of Ukraine.
And he doesn't say it explicitly, but I think it's pretty obvious now that NATO has lost in Ukraine.
The U.S. has lost in Ukraine.
The counteroffensive went nowhere.
But the neocons, they never give up.
And so if we can put this next one up, now here is his hypothesis, Dr. Paul, which I think makes sense.
Of course, we don't know, but it makes sense.
So obviously, they're not there for Gaza.
They're probably not there for Lebanon.
We've been there and we've done that.
Then he makes a point that we're not really there for Iran.
Iran is too powerful and regional for us to pick a fight with Iran right now because we have so many assets in the Middle East that Iran could take out immediately.
That's biting off too much.
And so here's what he says.
Bernard says.
The neoconservative lunatics in the White House may well think that they now have a chance to eliminate Russia's presence in the Middle East.
They will think of this as a revenge for their loss of the war in Ukraine.
They also believe it will prevent or compensate for their geopolitical defeat in Gaza.
Russia is undoubtedly preparing for that.
Still, its contingent in Syria is too small.
A combined attack by all U.S. forces in the area, more than 150 warplanes, would certainly defeat Russia in the region.
The question then would be, what's next?
So Bernard believes that this whole buildup in the U.S. forces in the eastern Mediterranean is for a big attack on Syria to finally push Russia out of Syria.
The Israelis, if you remember just this past week, they blown up Damascus airport and Aleppos airport.
They're not usable now.
And so this is his thesis that the neocons being defeated in Ukraine have got a bloody nose and they're furious.
Oh yeah, we're going to take Russia out of Syria.
And if that's the case, as he points out, what will Russia's response be?
You know, they're back using the slogan again after giving up on Assad has to go.
And now they're still with this.
But it's obviously not an easy task what you're talking about because we own a third of it.
We own troops.
We own the oil.
And it may be in Russia's interest to do that more so than ours.
Isn't it absolutely weird that we can be the most productive energy producer?
It's not like these people hate oil and gas.
Who's controlling it?
So what we do is we ruin it in this country.
Then we go over and beg people to do it and fight wars to make sure nobody takes it and says, oh, this is our oil.
And that's a Republican and a Democratic position.
Let's go in there.
We take there.
It'll pay for the war.
That whole thing even under Bush, that was their attitude.
That can pay for the whole thing.
Unless they get blown up first.
Well, I think to bolster this idea, if we could put that next one, here's the Wall Street Journal this morning reporting there's been a major attack against Russian forces in Russia.
Ukraine fires Atakim's missiles at Russian forces for the first time.
Now, nobody knew that they had them yet.
They were announced, but apparently they were secretly deployed.
So this is a big deal.
You think about this in the backdrop of the neocons losing their war against Russia.
All of a sudden they sneaked the Atakims in.
They took out, I think, four or five, I think even more, Russian helicopters.
So they do this here, and then they're about to maybe take on Syria.
But don't worry, Dr. Paul, if we go to the next one, President Biden is going to save the day.
So in the backdrop of all this chaos we're talking about, we have Biden.
He says, he said yesterday, last night, on Wednesday, I'll travel to Israel to stand in solidarity in the face of Hamas's brutal terrorist attack.
I'll then travel to Jordan to address dire humanitarian needs, meet with leaders and make clear that Hamas does not stand for Palestinians' right to self-determination.
It sounds like he's going in there to be a little bit more moderate to start reflecting the humanitarian crisis that he really helped Aegon from the beginning.
Yeah, you know, you know, with us providing these weapons and that they can attack the Ukrainians can attack Russia with these modern day weapons.
People know where they come from, and yet they draw that line and say, oh, we are morally pure.
We didn't do it.
We don't have troops in there.
None of our people have been being killed.
But, of course, all the people back home are preparing for it.
They're out on the street and they don't even have a house because of the inflation that's going on.
But it's amazing how they can rationalize that instead of saying, you know, we're participants, we're part of this, and they wouldn't do it if we weren't this empire that said we have to take care of the empire.
And I was amazed when I started reading.
I thought it was just sort of one guy, Hitler and the other dictators just come in, and it's all them that do it.
But they believe, and this has occurred here.
You know, the neocons have a bit of this.
Oh, yeah.
This is our obligation.
And then they mix in religious beliefs, too.
And it gets very, very messy.
And they don't have a precise definition of what aggression is and what a moral principle foreign policy might look like.
And the neocons don't care about blowback either.
Because if there's blowback, it actually just reinforces them.
See, we told you these people are bad.
And that's where I think George Samuelli, who's been a friend of mine for a long time, he used to have a column on anti-war.com.
He's someone I pay attention to.
He made an interesting comment about Biden's trip and the timing, if we can put that up, just to throw it out there.
And I think he makes a very good point.
He said, he was responding to Biden's announcement that he's going to Israel.
He said, this is truly bizarre.
If Israel launches its onslaught while Biden is there, or the day after Biden departs, then the U.S. will be held responsible for any and all atrocities that Israel perpetrates.
It guarantees 9-11 attacks on the U.S. in perpetuity.
So he's saying that Biden is owning any atrocity that happens simply by the fact of being there, and it's just acting like a magnet for terrorist response to the U.S.
Well, that will help erase that misconception that I was accusing them of.
There'll be less misconception.
They'll know exactly how we're involved there.
But the trip is a weird deal going on there.
You know, it seems like they're going for the wrong reason at the wrong time.
And it makes no things, no sense.
And at least to us, it seems like they're bound to make things worse.
They're not going to improve things.
But he's heading to Israel and Jordan.
That's on the list.
But, you know, this whole thing is sort of trying to guess what they're thinking when they say, well, we're going to wipe Gaza off the face of the earth.
We're going to go in there and hear the troops.
We're sitting there.
We're ready to get marching orders.
Well, same thing here.
They talk about this and the conflict is there.
But when are they going to do it?
When will they do marching in?
And what is Biden's plan to go over there?
But maybe, you know, sometimes this is a horrible thought.
Sometimes, you know, before World War II, they talk, and it's been written up about how our president then maneuvered us into war.
And I happened to took a lot of years to believe anybody could do that.
But then I tried to understand it.
And this is, maybe this isn't, from their viewpoint, you know, maybe they'll say, yeah, that's right, but that's what we're doing it for.
You know, like chaos in the streets.
Well, that's part of, that's what part of Marxism is doing.
Chaos is on the street.
So we can rebuild this country in a democratically socialist monster.
Yeah, yeah.
It could be.
Strange things have happened.
Well, let's do a little quick coverage on the other news of the day, which is we're going to have to move ahead a couple of clips.
How speaker vote live updates, if we can put that up.
Here's the question on everyone's mind today, especially with the chaos around Dr. Paul.
Will GOP Representative Jim Jordan be elected Speaker?
Last we looked, he was a few votes short of being elected.
It's unclear if you'll get it today, but it could happen.
What do you think?
Well, I think it's messy, and I wouldn't put any money on what I think.
Because right now, I think, how is he going to pull this one off?
You know, the other thought that I had, though, is a much more positive thought.
You know, I made a comment yesterday.
I thought Switzerland was pretty neat because they didn't have a powerful dictator as their president.
And I thought, well, how many days now is it that we've essentially had no speaker, but we have somebody holding the spot.
Serious Threats and Systemic Stalemate 00:05:33
And every once in a while, he has to make decisions.
And, you know, there's a consensus.
Well, you know, I have to look at this.
And I would say that no speaker or a weak speaker, how horrible is it?
Yeah, yeah.
You know, maybe there'd be less movement.
But the problem is it encourages the people that don't listen to the law and the rules anyway.
But if they were to follow the routine, there's see they don't want any frustration.
And they always want a rubber stamp on what they're going to do.
Even though they're going to do it regardless, they want the people to approve it and the Congress to sign on to this.
And therefore, when somebody goes in, whether it's our leaders go in or our support for our allies go in, we have to make sure that our people share in that decision, which is obviously the opposite of the thing they're doing.
They're just getting brainwashed into thinking you accept it because if you don't, you're not a patriotic person and you hate the military.
You won't let the military just go and do their business.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, one thing that we can say, though, will be a test, and I guess we've got to close out, but put up that next one from anti-war.
This is Dave DeCamp wrote this up.
I think this is going to be a litmus test if Jordan wins, because this is a report.
According to a report, Representative Jordan would allow a vote linking Israel and Ukraine aid.
Now, Jordan has been vocally opposed to Ukraine aid all along while he was not in leadership of the House.
The question is now: would he bow to the Democrats who want to, they call it nailing down the far right.
They want to nail down and force Republicans to vote for Ukraine aid by tying it to Israel aid, which they would never vote against.
So I think if Jordan, Jim Jordan, takes this on and agrees to tie the two together, I think he's going to be betraying the very populist wing of the GOP that's probably responsible for him being in the chair.
Yeah, and also how McCarthy got thrown out.
Why he got thrown out, exactly.
So, no, they get to the point where they're so deep into it, and there's on the one hand, it's this, on the other hand, this, and there's no difference.
It's just a variation of maybe the procedures or the personalities or whatnot.
But overall, it's the same thing.
And guess what?
Just like bankruptcy, it runs into a stalemate.
They can't spend what they don't have.
And there's a bankruptcy, a moral bankruptcy in the country, but there's a moral bankruptcy in our political system.
And what about our law enforcement system, you know, our court system?
And I would say that we're facing big problems because they don't have any moral grounds on which to defend their positions.
And that was one thing I think the founders understood pretty clearly on what was necessary to at least theorize of what should be in the law of the land.
And it didn't, it worked to a degree, and it's still beneficial compared to other countries, but it's still on its, it's really right now, our whole system is being threatened.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, I'm just going to close out and thank our viewers for watching the program today.
We'll try to cover some tricky, difficult issues and throw out some different perspectives.
And hopefully, you appreciate that.
If you're watching it, I guess it means you do.
But please hit like and please subscribe to the channel if you're not subscribed.
And please urge other people to subscribe so we can grow the program.
Make some comments to keep it lively and keep it up there and keep it refreshed.
And thanks very much for watching the program.
Over to you, Dr. Paul.
Very good.
You know, during the Cold War, and where there was a lot of talk, and it was serious talk, even more serious than what we're dealing with because it had to deal with nuclear weapons.
And it was during that time I was in medical training and I was drafted because of the crisis.
The Vietnam War was going on, but the crisis was in Cuba.
And, you know, it was my attitude.
It seemed like I didn't have any control to get frightened or scared or screaming or hiding or whatever.
I was almost stoic about the whole thing.
You know, that it's going to be okay.
It'll be okay.
It'll dissipate.
And especially when Kennedy talked to Khrushchev, you know, all of a sudden the immediate threat was removed.
But, you know, I feel a little bit different now.
I think it's more philosophic and it's more ingrained in the system in that it's not, you're not going to have a meeting with two leaders in the world and remove one serious threat to it.
I think the serious threat is probably right here at home, right here at home and understanding what kind of a government we should have.
I mean, the legal system is shot, the educational system is shot, they're ruining medical care in this country.
So he goes on and on.
It's not like two people could try to quiet things down like they did in 1962.
But I think that the problems are every bit, if not worse, than they were back in those days when we worried about it and got by.
So I'm hoping that the people wake up.
Bigger Government, Less Liberty 00:00:52
Our job here at the Liberty Report is mainly to get information and invite people to think very seriously about what a free society is all about and making voluntarism the option for people trying to figure out difficult questions, make local government important rather than not our state government, not our federal government, and not the United Nations.
I mean, this is where the problems come.
The bigger the government, the smaller the amount of liberty the individual has.
So those rules aren't difficult to understand, and it'll be quite easy to do something about it when this system sort of fades away and doesn't work very well.
But we have to have people who understand it and are willing to understand what the rules of a free society actually are.
The rules are minimal.
The principles are very, very important to understand.
