US General in the West Bank
By Micah Halpern

Thursday August 30, 2007

I've Been Thinking:

Did you know there was a United States general, real military personnel, who functions as a security coordinator for the Palestinian West Bank?
His name is Keith Dayton.

And last week, in an unprecedented move, Congress allocated Dayton $80 million to improve security in the West Bank.
The plan is to have the United States train five small, specialized, crack Palestinian units to serve in very specialized areas with very specific duties.
The units will be supplied with sophisticated weapons and transport.

Why? Why? Why? To bolster Abbas against Hamas.
And what's the major flaw in this program?
All the crack teams and all the specialized units on the West Bank will not bring about law and order - and law and order is the key to stability in the West Bank.

Additionally, the US is creating a situation with trained personnel and powerful weapons and no guarantee that they will not turn them against Israel.
Before this plan goes into action Israel must sign off and show agreement.

Not long ago Israel was hit with a rash of sniper attacks by Palestinians.
The skill of the snipers was too good to have been picked up on the street.
Turns out, these snipers had been trained in Langley by the CIA and - with the blessing of Israel.
That precedent has already been set.
