[quote:Anonymous Coward 1066849:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzE4Nzg1NTk5X0U5NEIxOUZC] [quote:nexuseditor] Apology/correction. They chuted in via chopper ONTO the RIG around midnight on the 18th and left via dingy to their mother vessel. They were SAS. So the SAS blew up the DWH... or perhaps someone pretending to be SAS. The Special Air Service are a regular British Army regiment, abseiling down onto a rig and fixing charges would not be beyond the realm of possiblity for them, but to do it to an American owned rig, let alone one in American waters would be the height of stupidity and diplomatically very embarassing if something had gone wrong. If such a "special forces" operation did take place, then it must have been by a foreign power hostile to the USA, or carried out by mecenaries acting on behalf of such a foreign power. These mecenaries could well have been British ex special forces, or some other European or American mecenaries posing as the SAS. They could have been working for BP, or a rival of BP. The possibilities are as endless. I just can't see the British Govermnent allowing regular front line British troops to be involved in anything like this, on the other hand, they do apparently employ a semi mythical outfit called "the Increment" who are allegedly ex special forces and they carry out all the dirty jobs on behalf of MI5 and MI6. As a previous poster mentioned, oil rigs are the domain of the Royal Marines, rather than the SAS. The Marines are part of the Royal Navy, the Special Boat Squadron are the Navy version of the SAS and specialise in underwater and amphibious operations, they work closely with the submarines; also the Marines have the Fleet Protection Group, formerly known as commachio Company after a famous battle in ww2. FPG carry out various roles, including defence of Nuclear weapons and defence of oil rigs; if they know how to defend an oil rig, they know how to attack it; it could well be the mercenaries i mentioned earlier might have been ex Marines. There again other countries will have their own maritime special forces, the USA has the Navy Seals, the Russians certainly have them as do the French. I know for a fact, that Lord Carrington, when he was head of British Intelligence, ran his own covert ops group - answerable only to himself and his elite cronies. This group only formed when necessary, utilised assets and resources from many nations (depending on the mission). The group was not consistent, and people were pulled in/chosen from various regular units, or intelligence units - as necessary. I know Carrington was not the only one doing this. Another example is contained in a book called "The Sixteen". Most of these groups only exist for a specific mission. The members are only told what their immediate job is, and not how it fits into any larger picture. Everyone knows that to know more than you should is a death warrant - even from your own 'side'. Obviously none of these groups are traceable; none are formed at the bequest of any elected body; and all of them are disposable in worst case scenarios. These groups are able to act in other nations territories (with permission), able to receive intel and resources, (including black-op subs, helicopters etc) - and all need a callsign/signature ID for when operating craft or vehicles that are detectable by other nations. My point - it might have been the SAS signature/call sign that registered on the DED - but that doesn't mean it was the actual SAS on an official mission. It was equally likely to be some insta-unit acting on the instructions of some elite group behind the scenes. Remember - the real powers behind the scenes have NO allegiance to national borders. National borders are only for us useless eaters to be distracted by - they are nothing more than resource checkpoints for the elite, to see who is going where etc. This is NOT a case of the UK vs France etc - so don't get distracted by shills on this thread who want to wave their patriotic ignorance around. peace [/quote] Well pointed out. My flag will tell you I have no misconceptions as to borders. We here have lots of workings as people who try to think rationally will try to look beyond the obvious. There has always be subterfuge as a matter of daily living in my world. This GOM crisis is going to be of serious consequence to us all no matter where we live, most likely this is a view of the planners. Regards, [/quote]
