-Caveat Lector- --- Euphorian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Story of find in Afghan cave 'was made up' to justify sending marines Britain was accused last night of falsely claiming that al-Qaeda terrorists had built a 'biological and chemical weapons' laboratory in Afghanistan to justify the deployment of 1,700 Royal Marines to fight there. ______________________________________________________ Nakano comments: The British didn't invent this "excuse tactic". The Brits simply took a page from the playbook of the U.S. BATF. When the BATF planned its military style assault on the Branch Davidian Church in Waco Texas(1993), they concocted the lie that they had evidence of a methamphetamine lab inside the church. They went to Gov.Ann Richards with this false story and asked for National Guard helicopters to provide air support for the assault. The lie about the drug lab provided a loophole for the governor to grant the request. Three State Guard helicopters participated in the attack on the church. Even with the helicopters and vastly superior firepower, the BATF got its butt kicked in Waco that day. The story about the drug lab was dropped. There was no evidence of a drug lab found in the ashes of the church after the Feds burned it to the ground.
Keep your eyes open for the the "excuse tactic"... the false story to justify some pre-planned government misuse of force. You don't suppose that the official stories about who and what was behind what happened on 9-11 was an "excuse" for the "War on Terror" do you?
