So I have given renewed thought to the attack with the benefit of addition info learned over the last 6 months.
Here’s my thinking on the matter:
Look forward to any thoughts of others at the bar.

Posted by: denk | Jan 18 2017 9:48 utc | 227 Obama has pronounced that Chelsea Manning’s 35-year prison sentence will be commuted to Time Served as at May 17, 2017. The Deep State’s wishful thinkers are hoping that this will lead to Julian Assange surrendering to US Authorities, because of a statement he made to the effect that he would surrender if Manning was ‘pardoned’ – which isn’t what ‘commute’ means. Posted by: Hoarsewhisperer | Jan 18 2017 10:38 utc | 228 Obama keeps provoking another world war, Posted by: Anonymous | Jan 18 2017 13:23 utc | 229 I have come up with a potty, deep state conspiracy idea, which germinated for me on another site discussing global warming and doesn’t seem to want to go away – if folk can shoot me down here, I would very much appreciate that, but it also ties into Outraged’s mini-discussion about reality, so I thought I’d put it on here. Posted by: juliania | Jan 18 2017 15:10 utc | 230 See, my post would explain why Russia is such a ‘threat’, China as well. It’s also an explanation for the rise of the deplorables in the US. The middles of continents are the new power centers. Being landlocked isn’t such a bad thing. The seas are indeed becoming, sadly, uninhabitable, with surging currents, undersea earthquakes, tsunamis, while what is being done by the planet itself is a vast desalinization project in the sky – evaporation, rainfall, recycling of the increasingly dense ocean onto formerly cold and arid landscapes. The smaller lands surrounded by ocean have already started a rapid deformation – fracking is puny by comparison but it’s a good distraction for the energies of populations which might become troublesome in the great old urban centers. So are the other distractions – bigotry, race, gender, surveillance, finance – you name it. Above all, TINA, and above that unending war.

So Assange’s offer was a publicity stunt. Posted by: Jackrabbit | Jan 18 2017 17:44 utc | 235 Correction to 238

Manning hasn’t been pardoned so Assange pulled a fast one on the people who are out to get him. Let’s see how McCain reacts. Posted by: dh | Jan 18 2017 20:04 utc | 243 i liked this post on the deiz ezzor thread.. i think it is on the money.. obama has shown himself to be one first rate sleaze ball, servant to the 1% and very little of anything else.. Posted by: james | Jan 18 2017 20:21 utc | 244 RT report: Posted by: Anonymous | Jan 18 2017 22:15 utc | 245 the earthquakes in italy. why has no one … no one with a voice that carries … mentioned fracking? or have they, and i’ve missed it? Posted by: jfl | Jan 19 2017 0:42 utc | 246 It is kicking off as I feared, many people will make all sorts of justifications for the horror that will certainly ensue.
If one came over all 90’s and examined the subtext for the graun article it would be something like. “Western powers refuse to tolerate Jammeh any longer so we have cranked up the neighbours to kick him out. As per usual for these events we are attempting to limit the bumber of whitefella casualties in order to mitigate the blowback from bourgeois whitefellas in France, England and amerika. The unwhites? If they hadn’t wanted to be raped or murdered they shouldn’t have let themselves to be born in Africa”.

It always came down to the same thing the inability for australian or amerikan troops to understand indigenous australians role in the Top End.
