Reply #5: Here is what I think went down - and why they are trying to distort ...

[Devils Advocate NZ]

Ok, we have the first report that says a convoy was attacked while entering Fallujah with "explosions and gunfire" rocking the area, and we have second report which says the truck that was carrying the 8 dead marines was destroyed by a car bomb that detonated next to it. Note the second article says the truck was in Anbar province which contains Fallujah, while the first article says the convoy was on the OUTSKIRTS of Fallujah at Nueimiya village.

Now lets piece the two stories together and what do we get?

A convoy, including a truck that contained a number of US marines, was in a village on the outskirts of Fallujah - technically not actually in Fallujah, and thus could be said to be in the Anbar province. The convoy is struck by a coordinated attack that includes the use of a large car bomb - which destroys the truck carrying the marines - and gunfire from unmentioned Iraq resistence fighters.

Now why would the Bush cabal want to confuse the story of this attack? Consider that this attack comes immediately AFTER the Al Qaqaa explosives story, and immediately BEFORE the soon to be attack on Fallujah.

Piecing those two stories together could lead to some rather disturbing thoughts, such as what if a significant portion of those explosives from Al Qaqaa are now sitting in "booby traps" such as cars, drains etc - just waiting to be command detonated as US troops move in?

In fact what if only one tenth of the explosives was being used in this manner? It would mean that there could be 30 odd TONS of extremely high explosives waiting for unprotected troops and even tanks and amoured personel carriers.

The attack on Fallujah could very well be a blood bath like nothing the US has seen since WW2.

On edit:

Just to give you an idea of what 30 tons of RDX would be capable of doing have a look at this:



This damage was cause by a ONE TON fertiliser bomb - far weaker than RDX or HMX. This was the bomb the IRA detonated in London in 1993. Here is a better description of the damage:

The explosion shook buildings and shattered hundreds of windows, sending glass showering down into the streets below. A mediaeval church, St Ethelburga's, collapsed; another church and Liverpool Street underground station were also wrecked.

The cost of repairing the damage has been estimated at more than £1bn.

Police had received coded warnings, but were still evacuating the area when the bomb went off. Most of those injured were security guards, builders and maintenance staff, and those who had come into their offices to work at the weekend.

Police said the bomb was hidden in the back of a dark blue tipper truck, parked in Bishopsgate.

It was home-made, with about a ton of fertiliser - similar to the bomb which devastated the Baltic Exchange a year ago, killing three people.

Now imagine what damage could be cause by 30 TONS of RDX or HMX?
