LEAK - NATO defence ministers meeting Edinburgh Fri14Dec

[truthmonger]

There is to be a meeting of NATO defence ministers this coming Friday (14th) at Craigiehall not far from the centre of Edinburgh. The topic of the meeting is reported as being "the war in Afghanistan".

I'm puzzled as to why such a meeting would be held in this venue? Does anyone know of any pattern to such meetings? Could it be that this is another part of the strategy to lock the new Scottish executive (SNP) firmly into the US/UK-led 'war on terror' (follow-up to the staged Glasgow airport attack)?

A more sinister possibility is that the event will be used to stage the "dirty bomb" 'terrorist' incident trailed as 'inevitable' and 'coming soon' in a recent speech by the Deputy Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police.

I hope not. But it might be worthwhile alerting the media to the justifiable suspicion that something like this might be staged.

[Bongo]

It is very possible Truthmonger. They have no hope pulling the SNP into their game, but a False Flag Terror Event (FFTE) in Edinburgh would be a very convinient target for those who would wish to gain political advantage over the march to an independant Scotland.

something along the lines of "You need the UK government to keep you safe" type scenario?

The fact that we are discussing such possibilities should hopefully make it far more difficult for an FFTE to happen.

UN Charter breaking murderers gather in secret to congratulate themselves on recent child killing spree in Musa Qala at jolly old British taxpayers expense.

Weak and compliant press corralled, sworn to secrecy at meeting of public money thieves and war criminals.
Sir Ian Blair is not thought to be contemplating arrests at this time.

It's a massive leak!
Quite possibly deliberate by NATO to pile more pressure on the politicians.

Britain's Afghan mission is a fruitless and failing pursuit
While soldiers die and huge sums are frittered on Karzai's regime, the operation is failing in whatever objective it had
