WSJ: Israel expands into Iraq, builds secret military base

Wonder where they get food fuel water electricity in this super secret base?

That we likely paid for. Oh, and we’ll continue to pay for it. So that’s good.

So not a super secret base?

I wouldn't exactly refer to that as a ' base '. More like an abandoned Special Forces outpost.

According to the sources, Israel built the base shortly before the war began in late February to serve as a hub for logistics to support the Israeli Air Force.

They're tossing water bottles up to pilots as they pass over?

SMH

How did they get there? Did they go through Jordan or Syria?

It had a secret knock and everything.

You damn people are so very, very simple minded. Is it that y’all just don’t want to expand the parameters of the thinking on these matters, or are y’all genuinely incapable? I get strategically leaving various things out, in acute situations requiring such, but to openly and blatantly turn away from common sense thinking…….such as in this scenario, I don’t even have to look it up to confirm the fact that Iraq ain’t exactly an unassociated, independent party nowadays, apparently it’s extremely influenced by, yep, none other than Iran itself. Plus its proximity to the target land. And who in their right mind would equate any of this to Israel taking action to “expand”??
