Yair:
In reference to your Civil War article,
let me tell you that the stream of
Manassass, Virginia ( Site of a battle
called by Union Troops- Bull Run,
Southern Troops- Manassass) has developed
into a bustling city in Virginia.
I drill there with the Guard every
month.
You will find a lot of verified Jewish
elements in Virginia. The oldest
Jewish community in Virginia still
in existance dates from the Colonial
times, and was formally established
in 1796. Thats Brit- Achim, located in
Petersburg, Va. The original structure
doesnt exist, but the community is
still vibrant, strong, and growing.
It was a practice to name certain elements
biblically as they were settled,
and that absolutely verifies your comments
and observations that these
areas have Jewish names. its also important
to point out that Manassass, Va
was located very close to old Mason-
Dixon line, and many troops from that
area served with the Union Army instead
of the Confederate army, in which
territory they lived at the time.
Robert E Lee was from that immediate
area. Although he fought for the
South, he did so out of a sense of
duty to his community. He was offered
command of the Union troops at the
outset of the war, and turned them down.
Just a few facts from a proud Virginia
citizen.

Note we in Brit-Am have frequently
pointed out that the blessing to receive
the gate of your enemies (Genesis 22:17)
and the gate of those who hate you
(Genesis 24:60) was the blessing
received by the Patriarchs and transmitted
to the seed of Joseph more than
to any other section of Israel.
These "gates" were understood by the
Midrash to mean strategic points and
passes of international importance.
Britain and the USA have always
possessed such "gates" and have always
made their possession a lynch pin
of their foreign and military policies.
They have done this far more
consistently and thoroughly than any
of the other empires
who placed their emphasis on other
strategies.
The following extract illustrates that
this principle is still being
maintained by Joseph almost as if it
was part of his instinctive being.

Iran Loses Sleep over New US
Air Base in East Afghanistan
In deep hush, the Americans are nearing
completion of a spanking new
underground air base in eastern Afghanistan,
to be the largest facility of
its kind in that part of the world.
This is reported exclusively by
DEBKA-Net-Weekly's sources.
The project coincides with US efforts
to stabilize the administration
of Hamid Karzai in Kabul amid reported
debates over whether or not to boost
the 1,000-strong US military presence
in Afghanistan. It means that the
Pentagon has abandoned its earlier
plan to locate this important facility
in the Baluchistan region of Pakistan.
The base, abutting on the southern
suburbs of the Afghan Shi'ite city
of Herat, is due to go operational
in September as the new home of US
aerial forces now scattered around
the Persian Gulf, Central Asia and other
locations in Afghanistan. It will also
house elements of the advanced
control and command center dismantled
at the Prince Sultan air base in
Saudi Arabia and temporarily stored
in new US bases in Qatar and Oman.
From its big new base, the operational
scope of the US air force will
stretch across Afghanistan and the
Caspian Sea region, which is vitally
important for the United States because
of its oil reserves and other
natural resources; Central Asia, all
of Iran, the Persian Gulf, the Strait
of Hormuz and the northern Arabian
Sea up to Yemen's Socotra Islands. The
US air force will also have a commanding
position in relation to Pakistan,
India and the western fringes of China.
The base will include a facility
for US special forces units
Iranian strategists have noted that
the Herat base is but a link in a
formidable chain of new facilities
the United States is in the process of
drawing around them. Other links, as
DEBKA-Net-Weekly reported in Issue 67,
are the new air and naval facilities
at Assab and Dahlak in the Eritrean
archipelago and in Tiblisi, Georgia,
as well as those located on Yemen's
Socotra Islands and in the Red Sea
port town of Hodeidah.
American military planners are now
looking at locations in
Turkmenistan near the Caspian Sea.
The Iranians and their intelligence
services have also been keeping a close
eye on the newfound German and
Israeli naval and air presence in the
Horn of Africa, at the meeting points
of the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and
the Indian Ocean.
One of DEBKA-Net-Weekly's Iranian sources
said: "It should be
understood that when Iranian leaders
see the map of American bases
tightening around us like a noose,
they are absolutely sure that
Washington's primary goal is first
to strangle us, then kills us off."
The new base at Herat has reinforced
this conviction.
The men in Tehran also have a grievance.
As one source put it:
"First, the United States pressured
us to cut down on our agents'
activities in Afghanistan so as not
to threaten the stability of the Karzai
government in Kabul. Now," he complained,
"It looks as though this was only
an excuse to remove the thousands of
Iranian agents we sent to Afghanistan
to keep track of US military activities
in areas Tehran views as vital to
its strategic interests. With them
out of the way, the Americans could go
forward in the dark."
