If they did the alert based only upon Debka, Bloomberg needs to get a new security chief. I suspect that there are other indicators, but lacking independent confirmation, Debka is questionable. Perhaps the relatively quick standdown indicates that they were too jumpy.
It warned the ambushes could “possibly be a rehearsal for a much bigger attack, possibly an attempt to completely overrun the post.”
Yes, probing attacks are probable, and if our military is aware of that, then that's half the fight. The Tali have walked into a rapid response meat grinder and taken heavy losses in these probes. Perhaps they are desperate for a win somewhere.
You also have to think about the amount of real chatter the gov’t is listening to. And maybe moles on the inside. They can’t be totally going by some website posts. I’m sure the wiretapping and survelliance of the BB’s are helping them with some information.
they have people on this stuff 24/7. i think on this thread we just barely have the tip of the iceberg compared to what DHS knows.
it’s a slippery one thats for sure.
