MNI, I'm glad to see how appreciative you're of my East Africa Bombing enquiry: Gustave, I took your post and added to what I had read earlier on your three-part-scenario. Now I would say there is less recreational fantasy and creative effort in it than I had suspected, and more of it is drawn from various sources, your effort being mainly combinatorial, not creative. I disagree about this last dig: my scenario is ''creative'' in that it boldly assumes that France, a reputed ally of the USA, masterminded these bombings. Indeed, you must keep in mind that, as a lay person, I'm routinely intoxicated by the mainstream media: hence, it takes a creative, imaginary effort of mine to accept such a wild hypothesis --the bin Laden track looked so straightforward! Once again, let me remind you the key point that guided me throughout my France/Denard/Mossad scenario: it's the MOBILE, or the MOTIVE of such an outrageous bombing. If you apply a classical risk/reward benchmark to the East Africa bombing, you'll see that France had the greatest to lose/gain in challenging the US presence in Central Africa. More tomorrow, Gustave.
