By the same logic of the 757 thread, isn't it also possible that the Russian government staged the seige of the Belsan school and the bombing of two Russian airliners last week?
Think about it:
Russia has always pushed for worldwide acceptance of a hardline stance against Chechnya...taking over a school, killing 400+ men, women and children and then blaming it on "Worldwide Terrorism" is a perfect means to an end, right? Add in a 50% Arab mercenary hostage-taking squad and you have an even wider support base in your anti-terror campaign.
It is obvious what they are up to:
Convince the world that Russia is in a fight for its survival against international terrorists, couple that with a claim that the US has a "double-standard" on terrorism and whatcha got?? You've got a green light to go into Chechnya with guns blazing...something you have never had before.
The "proof":
- The Russian government would not give an accurate figure of the number of people within the school, this was a chance for them to gague public opinon on the strike..too many people = civil unrest, too few people = not enough outrage.
- The initial statement that there was no connection to terroism in the downing of two airlines was a similar tactic.
- The pristine condition of a videotape of the hostage-taking means that it must be fabricated. How would a videotape have withstood the explosions in the school?
So, if the US government is able to set up a catastrophic event in order to wage war on lil' ole' Iraq, why shouldn't Russia be let in on the fun?
Heck, maybe the US government is even working in cohoots with the Russian goverment...like a terror consultant? Russia must have spotted the fact that the US set up the 9-11 attacks and decided that they wanted a piece of the action too...Right? Right?
