TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Last week, this site, among others, published Webster Tarpley's desperate warning that Americans were being left in Lebanon as sitting ducks for a possible false-flag provocation. The worry was that Americans stranded in Lebanon would be slaughtered by a bomb or munitions fired by the warmonger class of the Mossad or other pro-war forces.

It is important to note that false-flag operations are often predicated on scheduled drills and wargames. The chief purpose for this is to confuse institutional response to disaster situations by confusing a real-life incident with a similar wargame.

Similarly, we can note that the US evacuation of its embassy staff and thousands of nationals from Lebanon was slowed by wargames which diverted naval resources to Jordan, in the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea.

Here's a report from CNN Thursday, July 20, 2006:
