Google backs down on plans to base itself at white bay

The US government has been forced to reverse its position on the issue of race, announcing today that it will base itself at the “white bay” of Florida rather than in Washington, D.C.
The move is designed to protect military and commercial interests there. Under the Obama administration, the Pentagon’s Southern 더킹카지노Command has built a complex military base at Fort Rucker, the largest of its kind in the world and home to more than 1,300 troops and marines.
The decision came after concerns among the Pentagon and military analysts that establishing the base, which would include “an operating base,” could undermine US efforts to combat ISIS.
The move came after calls by the Center for American Progress, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and other groups representing rank-and-file service members for a new Pentagon location to be located in Florida, where most military and aerospace companies have operations in South Florida. The Southern Command was the subject of criticism after being located in St. Augustine, Florida for decades, at a time when many US cities had become heavily African American and racially homogenous.
The defense department’s Southern Command (SAC) has been in operation since J바카라사이트anuary 2011, and is now headquartered in Fort Rucker, a 30-minute drive from the Florida coast, about 200 miles east of downtown Orlando. It has roughly 3,000 military personnel—over half of them on permanent duty overseas—and about 2,000 contractors working for the military and defence industries.
Despite the proximity to Tampa Bay and other nearby towns, the base will still be within about t바카라사이트wo hours of the main airport, which handles about 1 million daily international and domestic flights.
SAC President Adm. Michael Rogers said on February 2 that the Pentagon should focus instead on expanding the network of bases across the country.
“We’re focused on what’s possible to achieve that most efficiently and economically at the operational level,” he said. “And that’s not a place we should base a military operation, that’s a military base in that part of the country, at one particular point in time.”
Rogers also told the Florida Business & Tourism Travelers Association that the “no-base policy” had a “strategic, historic, and economic value.” He said that, “We want to maintain that kind of relationship with local government to be sure there are no distractions.”
The announcement on Thursday came on the heels of public protest from local resident
