Re: Conspiracy Theories

I really don't give a rat's ass about Mali ... what prompted me to open a thread was how the whole situation moved from walking pace to warp speed overnight. None of the ususal media speculation, none of the background, no fabricating of motives ... seems like all of a sudden the frogs are blasting the ever lovin' out of the "rebels" or whatever the hell they are, and it's front page news If, all of a sudden, it's a battle to stop the spread of terror into volatile region, how come the omniscient media didn't let us know? Ok, so there is no oil in Mali ... but there ain't much in Afghanistan either. Governments seem to have known. Canada already had plans to help the French with logistic support ... a couple of C-17s for heavy lifting. And troops from Burkina Faso were already on the way. Maybe the media didn't think it was "newsworthy". After all, the Oscar nominations are much more fascinating. It just appeared to me to be a little strange.
