Malta denies claims by former US Congresswoman
The Government of Malta this evening categorically denied claims being made by former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney that "12,000 U.S. troops (are) stationed in Malta and they are about to make their descent into Libya".
Ms McKinney made these statements on her public blog http://allthingscynthiamckinney.posterous.com.
"The allegations are completely false," the government said in a statement.

At first I dismissed this as one of these conspiracy theories. But then I discovered the US soldiers on Malta myself: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/12000-us-troops-discovered-on-malta/ - I saw them today!

Does it really matter if we had US troops or not in Malta. We have US troops, as we should on our soil, to help protect the free world. I don't see what the big fuss is all about. We want friends like the US not some terrorist.

She is well-known for her incendiary and intolerant remarks as is quoted here: 'During the 2000 presidential campaign, McKinney wrote that "Al Gore's Negro tolerance level has never been too high. I've never known him to have more than one black person around him at any given time." Gore's campaign pointed out that its manager, Donna Brazile, was black'. She is a populist who uses controversial topics and lies with a good dose of self-victimisation to stir up the masses. Alas, she is doing it again.

Perhaps this congresswoman was watching the movie Small soldiers. I guess her brain and the brains of those who believe this crap would probably fit inside these toys boots.

I agree. I never even seen a photo of this embassy, let alone a floor plan.
And technically, this would not breach our neutrality clause because an embassy is considered to be part of the nation it represents and not part of the nation it is in.

Lies and mis-information are normal in politics - we have plenty of the same in Malta.
I do not expect integrity from any politician - they are always self serving, and bending the rules every which way they can - and generally arrogant and thick skinned as well.

there is hardly any space here were to fit 120 troops, let alone 12,000!

hmmmm maybe that is why in 2011 we had a record increase of 6.5 per cent in passenger movements over 2010 !!!
Yes, right !! this guy's information is spot on. On an island 316 sq km its not easy hiding 12,000 troops. maybe the US military did actually invent an invisible suit after all.

And if they have heard of it, they have no idea WHERE Malta is: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/where-is-malta/ - I have a feeling Ms McKinney also confused it with some other country.

This congresswoman was a lunatic when she was my congresswoman in Atlanta, GA some years ago and hasn't changed a bit with the times.

Cynthia McKinney must be living in "Dreamland". How can she be so irresponsible? Any politician worth his/her salt would verify the veracity of his/her information before going to print. If she had any knowledge of the geography of the Maltese Islands she would be aware that it is impossible to hide 12,000 troops here. No wonder she is no longer a member of Congress.

Itis beyond me why the government had to rebute these calims, if there were 12,000 troops in Malta I guess we would know about them even if the government tried to hide them.
