Oh, I've noticed . Zenit was very slolw to report Sister Lucia's death but has wasted no time dredging up this half-bake story from 2001 that the third secret has been fully revealed.
In military maneuvers, if one wishes to make an all out assault, one bides one's time, and gets in position - from multiple vantage points. And then fire all the guns at once. This is an old game.......but it works, as the other side has a difficult time fighting back when being bombarded from all sides.
The best "seiges" are the ones which are sustained, well planned, and not started in haste.
