July 1, 2017, 3:47 PM (IDT) – The USS H.W. Bush dropped anchor opposite the Israeli port city of Haifa on Saturday.

It carries about 80 fighter planes on its decks and a crew of 5,700 including 3,500 air force personnel.  

Powered by two nuclear reactors, the Bush is 330 meters long and 20-stories high.

It anchored out to sea since it is too large to dock in Haifa port.

During its four-day stay, the crew will celebrate America’s July 4 Independence Day in Israel and tour the country.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman will visit the ship Monday.

The US and Israeli navies have conducted several joint exercises, but Bush is the first US carrier to visit Israel in 17 years

      Maybe Israel will bomb it and say Assad did it.

      Let us hope it is not positioned to create a FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS DISPLAY in DAMASCUS.

      Some of the jihadists news sites are reporting 30 people killed from chlorine based hand grenades. How easy would it be for ISIS jihadists to dress up in Syrian Army Uniforms and throw chlorine laden chemical grenades? Add a few children in the casualty list
      and TRUMP falls lock stock and barrel for the ploy.

      And the United States Citizens get their own July 4th FIREWORKS Display.

      Let us hope TRUMP and our great Intelligence Services are smarter than that. They know they have invited just that with their recent warnings.

      The great and patriotic military about the USS Bush should realize that the conflict in Syria is about
      Israel becoming the ENERGY SUPPLIER OF EUROPE. Yes you heard it. Check out the Tamar and Leviathan natural gas reserves in the Med…these can power Europe for 50 years or more. They want to run a pipeline through Syria. And Exon will get the contract.

      Israel is treating the terrorists in its hospitals and supplying them with arms and meals ready to eat. Anytime they want to strike Syria they have a deal and ask terrorists to fire a few mortar shells. They they use this to attack a sovereign nation.

      Exon getting the deal to run pipeline? Sounding funny? Yes Rex Tillerson who is past CEO of Exon and had plenty of stock and connections is Secretary of State. Let us hope he does not have a conflict of interest. Genie Energy will be the prime benefactor. Look up the list of advisors to its board and you will soon get the picture.

      Also, Syria is one of few nations that is not in debt to the IMF Rothschild banking system. Iraq was, but is no longer. Libya was and is no longer. Yemen was and will not any longer be. Iran is not. North Korea is not.

      I wish it was there for pay back for the USS Liberty.
