Task Force Lebanon

From a satellite news channel report

Blue Force Briefing (USA)

Who would have thought that a routine raid on a warehouse in Baltimore a few weeks ago

would culminate in an American Task Force standing off the coast of Lebanon? Although

it was a surprise to everyone when the FBI uncovered what turned out to be the

equipment for the manufacture of a nuclear weapon all parts of the American intelligence

establishment rapidly swung into action. The CIA traced the origin of the warheads

plutonium to the Russian Tomsk-7 site whose security has been worrying experts for

years. It appears that this material was smuggled out of Russia by the Mafia and into

Turkey and from here down into Lebanon. This was where it fell into the hands of the

terrorist splinter group ‘The Sword of Freedom’ which is reported to be based in the

country. As soon as this was verified, large elements of the 6th Fleet set sail for the

eastern Mediterranean whilst a retaliatory action was planned.

Unfortunately the situation today seems somewhat confused and the chance of a swift,

surgical strike is rapidly diminishing. The Lebanese Militias have declared that American

forces have no business in their waters and have been rapidly mobilizing their forces. It has

now become apparent that Syrian support for these militias has been far more extensive

than was first thought. The Militias have revealed themselves to be in possession of top of

the range military hardware, most of which the Russians originally supplied to the Syrian

army. The crisis has caused the various factions to unify in the face of what they see as little

more than an American invasion and have pledged to resist any and all US incursions into

their territory. They have made no secret of the fact that they believe they have the weapons

to halt any US action dead in its track. Tensions have been raised to such a pitch that we

now find ourselves in a ‘hair trigger’ situation and full scale military operations could

commence at any minute.
