Defense Analysts?

This is beyond nonsense:
LONDON – Defense analysts for the British intelligence service MI6 believe China is preparing for the "eventuality of a nuclear war." The conclusion follows evidence that Beijing has built secretly a major naval base deep inside caverns which even sophisticated satellites cannot penetrate, says a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
I was reading the article with an open mind until I got to this part:
A Royal Navy nuclear submarine, one of those in the Typhoon Fleet, now has joined another from the U.S. Pacific Fleet to build up a clear image of what is happening inside the secret base which, as well as China's nuclear subs, could house "a host of aircraft carriers."
House a "host" of aircraft carriers. Not just one, but a "host".

Ever seen an aircraft carrier up close? Over a thousand feet long, two hundred and fifty feet wide, three hundred feet tall, weighing almost a 100,000 tons, and drawing up to thirty feet of water. Just rough figures of course, but try to imagine the cave required to handle just one of these monsters. And these M16 analysts tell us the Chinese will be able to hide a "host" of them in their hand-carved caves in a place called Sanya on the southern tip of Hainan island.

The largest room so far discovered in the largest cave in the world could not hide even one carrier.


Yep. The Chinese are going to hide a host of aircraft carriers like the USS Nimitz(above) in their little island hideaway.

The M16 geniuses who came up with this must be from the same batch of intelligence halfwits that supported George Bush in his WMD campaign against Iraq.

But... keep in mind this article came from Joseph Farah's(of WorldNetDaily fame) "G2 bulletin".

As always, it is wise to consider the source.
