“I wonder who is doing the spotting, or were these targets already known?”
See today’s DebkaFile for the answers. I’d post a link, but too many here would disparage it simply because they seem to despise anything Debka.
Debka is despised by many because they report many things that are in the works but don’t pan out quickly or get short circuited. They also appear prescient at times because the things they report early and are derided for often do come about. Debka does not make stuff up. Their main failing seems to be that they say ‘will happen’ when they perhaps they should say ‘is planned.’
