Subject: NATO ATTACKED BY MUSLIMS!!!WESTERN EUROPE INVADED!!
tommy atkins     7/19/2002 10:08:01 AM
For those that havnt heard,Morroco landed 6 conscripts on "parsley island" a 120ft long lump of Rock,uninhabited & owned by Spain,200 yards from the morroco shore and 12 miles from the Spanish Shore.they raised the morroccan flag.Spain demanded withdrawal and the Morrocans claimed sovrignty of the Hunk of granite that you could hit with a longbow from the shore!Finally yesterday Spanish spec forces Rappelled in from Iroquois clattering above the tiny island then surrounded it with Frigates.The Morrocan "garrison"surrendered without a shot. But is this the end,will we see a Morrocan task force sail?A new "goose green"?will the morrocan flag be raised Iwo Jima-like on Parsley?will Spain ask for NATO intervention?What tactical problems might the terrain cause for Armoured divisions?will seapower be decisive,or will the Morrocans just wait for the tide to go out? And FINALLY! If Spain can get so heated about a footballfield sized uninhabited rock that is yards from the Morrocan coast saying theyve owned it since 1680,What does that say for Gibraltar?Owned By us Brits for hundreds of years,populated with a naval base?Theyve just sunk their cause somewhat!!!!!!!

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-41-359672,00.html I see dire consequences in the wind for the goats on the island. Are there ANY natural resources or strategic advantages to controlling that island? And if so, why were the Moroccans able to occupy it with a massive invasion legion of ... gasp ... six guys and a rowboat? It's almost funny that this is the first territory that NATO has technically lost in a long time, if not ever. --Phoenix Rising

Thanks for the artical PR.The place dosnt even have Goats! Though it does have some Lizards! This forthcoming conflict will be an epic struggle! Battalions of Spanish Paratroops will swarm over the Rock,if they land in the sea they can paddle to the FEBA! Morroccan long range Artillery,(Trebuche)will pound thestrategically important "slopy boulder"region.truly this battle will be one that advances are made in yards rather than miles.Morrocan M48's will try an enveloping flank attack and fall into the sea!Finally to stem the Moorish horde NATOs B52s will carpet bomb,each bomblet covering an area about the size of a football pitch. I.E the size of the island. Morroccan Subs gliding at periscope depth attempt Crash dives shoreside of Parsley!WHOOOP-WHOOOP...BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!! The possibilitys are endless! Straegically.Any use? Spain could mount SSMs on Parsley which would have the range to hit spain.Alternertivly they could mount SSMs on Spain to hit Parsley! A refuling point for either nation.A Morroccan SSK could ,if it ran out of diesel send a bloke ashore and get a couple of jerrycans to refuel...enough to get to the beach...the subs probably already drifted ashore by this time anyway!Spain could build a platform to fly a Huey off,giving them a mighty 10 mile staging Increase!
