i do not post very often, but as the forum logs will attest to, i read alot of posts, something some people here seem to forget is simple.
think back to pearl harbor, intel is just basically guss work, abeit educated or not still guess work, some people believed an attack on pearl was coming, again educated guesses
wouldnt it be great if there wasb, an open doors policy worldwide, now i dont want to start a discussion bout what any country might b hiding but you see where i am going with this.
i personally believed the intel was seen and a part of the presentation made to bus/uk mps was subject to inferance, but remember these politicans are not military analysts they relie on what they are told “by those in the know” and if they are gussing and infering where are we?
