British "Undercover Soldiers" Caught driving Booby Trapped Car
British "Undercover Soldiers" Caught driving Booby Trapped Car
"They refused to say what their mission was."


September 20, 2005
Reuters



The following Reuters report raises some disturbing questions.

Why were undercover British "soldiers" wearing traditional Arab headscarves firing at Iraqi police?

The incident took place just prior to a major religious event in Basra.

The report suggests that the police thought the British soldiers looked "suspicious". What was the nature of their mission?

Occupation forces are supposesd to be collaborating with Iraqi authorities. Why did Britsh Forces have to storm the prison using tanks and armoured vehicles to liberate the British undercover agents?

"British forces used up to 10 tanks " supported by helicopters " to smash through the walls of the jail and free the two British servicemen."

Was there concern that the British "soldiers" who were being held by the Iraqi National Guard would be obliged to reveal the nature and objective of their undercover mission?

1. I wouldn't be surprised if we uncovered some more incidents
of American/British soldiers posing as "insurgents" and setting off bombs.

More bombs = job not finished = we have to 'stay the course' = more $$$ for Halliburton.

2. I have seen reports elsewhere
mainly "WhatReallyHappened.com" alluding to this type of incident(s) in the past. Reports US, Brits, Mossad were pulling this kind of crap.

story at my website.

If there is peace in Iraq, they'll kick us out. If we can keep them fighting each other, its a reason to stay the fucked up course.

6. Any suggestion that 'our mission' is to bring 'freedom and democracy'
to the region is now inoperative. This was Basra - the supposedly peaceful region of the shiite south.

The Democratic 'leadership' who are continuing to mouth the stay the course cant afford to fail bullshit need to wake the fuck up.

8. Its the same plan all the time
As with 911, 7/7 and now. Dress up as arabs, make sure it looks like they did it. They'll photoshop the evidence later to blame whichever country we have fucked up yet..

They are getting really sloppy at the frame the arab operations.

9. Isn't Basra also the place where the police and the various
militias aren't clearly distinguished?

Include this in the mix of facts, and suddenly things become too muddled for many conclusions.

10. It is an old british trick. You infiltrate the gorillas, throw a few cells
in jail - then the whole network is scared of being infiltrated and the suicide bombers and those at the top act with caution. Used for the last 50 years to create fear within the 'gorilla' group. Reduced the "boldness" of the insurgents bombers. Cause they loose trust in the network.

It would be criminal if the Brits didn't try some old time & well practiced psy-opps on the insurgents. Don't know if the police honestly mistook the two for insurgents and a fire-fight erupted between people on the same side - or what.

Tanks showed up to rescue the undercover british forces. That is no surprise either.
