It's possible, but I highly doubt it. Then again, why would the US Army's head commanders and stragetics lead this info out to the press? It might be, too hard to tell.

There is a term you may want to learn. "Disinformation". They did the same thing for D-Day.

I sure hope so. This would be extremely dumb of the press to expose, unless they are the N. Korean press or something. biggrin:

Im well aware of dissinformation and propoganda. That does not stop me from looking at this article and asking why the fuck say anything. Keep your damn mouth shut. The world has no need to know military stratigies real or fake.
No they didnt do the same thing for D-day. They didnt simply tell CNN to run a story about the invansion being at Pas De Cali. They built an entire fake Army around Patton, and completly fooled the Germans. Fake plans were "captured" by the germans, adding to the ruse.
The same thing was somewhat done in the Gulf War. By having the Marines do beach landing training. The news reported the training. It never just came out and said that we were going to do landings, it simply implied it.
Im not so mad about this story in itself, im more pissed about the seemingly endless flood of BS from the media. There hyping this whole thing out of proportion.

(SIGH) As I said, basically, it was the same concept. Misleading information. Understand? Good.
