THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THIS ADMISSION:
Was to simply claim this programs started only WEEKS ago.
That notion is TOTALLY RIDICULOUS.
It is a total certainty it began over 1 year ago, and it’s rather likely it started a little over TWO years ago.
In spook-speak this story is a LIMITED HANG-OUT —that’s where you try to get out “in front” of some totally undeniable HUGE story by making some highly publicized admission of a LITTLE story:
You turn what could evolve into a completely huge scandal by admitting to a comparatively tiny scandal that the hyenas noisily pounce on as you leap from the top of your Land Rover.
The only real tidbit here is that they’re probably supplying the US-made ATGM, the Javelin, which is light, reliable and incredibly effective —will give Assad tank crews LOTS and lots of worry.
All other parts of the story are dirty lies for stupid suckers.
I think the Javelin is an anti-personnel/anti-building weapon too. I think it has some kind of selector switch.
