I like the Sorcha Faal take on this better, though the Queen bit is laughable, but why not blame a puppet instead of the regular crew, no one will really care and think the whole story preposterous.... this 'take' is about Sana bin Laden's additional testimony before The Iraq Inquiry headed by Sir John Chilcot on Monday.... with her mentioning her brother's illness and being taken care of by the CIA at an American hospital in Dubai and later transferred to a military hospital in Pakistan, reported on by the infamous Dan Rather, who seems to forget how to traverse the barbed wire fence, but who's complaining. Sana is said to have mentioned all the usual stuff about Saudi financing 9-11 etc. Who knows what to make of anything in these false flag ops, but isn't this 'take' more entertaining at the least?
