US Marines in TT

Sunday, October 26 2008

Members of the public in Laventille, Curepe, certain parts of the East and Central were jolted out of their beds early yesterday by the roaring sounds of two marine helicopters flying over their homes.

Some of the concerned persons even telephoned Sunday Newsday to ascertain if the United States Marine Corps were carrying out an exercise in the country.

One man said, “the noise from the engines was so powerful that I was awakened from sleep and when I looked out of my house the two helicopters were flying over my house, and I could see the US Marine officers inside,” he said.

Yesterday, Chief of Defence Staff Brigadier Edmund Dillon sought to clear the air on the matter.

He said members of the US Marine Corps are in Trinidad to carry out a number of humanitarian ventures. These include repairs to the Cyril Ross and St Jude’s Home for Girls.

The officers will also provide medical assistance to persons at the Arima and Couva hospitals.

On Monday, the US Marines will formally make public their mission in Trinidad during a ceremony to mark their presence in the country.

We spy on everyone and it's not like in the movies. Most Spies are not trained US soldiers however they're people trying to defect or gain by passing information. Then we use UAVs and sats, signal intel etc. we dont usually send a bunch of marines in US helis flying over cities to gain intel...Then again this is Bush's military at the moment, the IC aint what it should be:)

    The Pentagon can't help itself. We suffer through the biggest financial meltdown in USA history and they still spend billions a month on the cold war, which is over since 20 years.
    I have lost $480,000 in my 401k, which I had saved up in the last 30 years, paying now for Bush's senseless wars and his idiotic military build up.

    marines are a fighting force, not an intelligence agency
    the marines job is to fight and kill

    the CIA, NSA, DIA, are intelligence agencies who spy

    dude at least do a little research before you make blind accusations
