A myriad groupings without centralised or recognised command and control provides a terrifying scope for countergang activity, at which Britain excels and is vastly experienced.&lt;br /&gt;This latest bombing is highly questionable in my opinion given the location, the timing and the target.&lt;br /&gt;The location provides a Massarene tie-in for the propagandists whilst the target actually bolsters the PSF position at the present time in negotiating further advancement of the normalisation and Ulserisation policies. They now have their very own crown forces victim to compare with Arlene Foster&amp;#39;s RUC father whilst negotiating the advancement of British policy.&lt;br /&gt;It could be argued that Massarene shattered the illusion of normalisation and as such was a strategic success but any climate of escalation only increases the scope for counter-intelligence and counter-gang activity; the black arts at which Britain excels and at which she cannot be matched. The days of going &amp;#39;down into the mire after them&amp;#39; as Tom Barry would have said are long since past. Those who try will get lost in the mire and wasted.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4807238897188927967/3613927050688043835/comments/default/8688633192911986059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4807238897188927967/3613927050688043835/comments/default/8688633192911986059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepensivequill.am/2010/01/futile-contempt.html?showComment=1263511834994#c8688633192911986059' title=''/><author><name>katayusha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16174334044529115519</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://thepensivequill.am/2010/01/futile-contempt.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-3613927050688043835' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4807238897188927967/posts/default/3613927050688043835' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1141722285'/><gd:extendedProperty name='blogger.displayTime' value='11:30 PM, January 14, 2010'/></entry></feed>
