I'm not really patting myself on the back. This is a sad day. These have been a sad few days now. As far as the Bangledesh connection goes, it is
there.
I saw the reports, copy pasted the location off of the news broadcast at the time (directly off of the screen), pasted it to google maps, compared it
to their current location and speculated based on their location and the possible routes to determine that they were in direct route from Mumbai
towards Bangledesh.
I called that out very early on and it was met with criticism...
It is now evident that some of the terrorists are Bangledeshi's...
I have urged people throughout to be very careful of what they hear on the news. If there is a direction to spin this, they will.
I have also stated, time and time again, that this is most likely not a Pakistani strike. It only serves to reason that if that were the case,
Pakistan would be completely cooperative. The supposed group responsible is denying all responsibility...
I'm sorry, people are basing their accusation on things that simply do not add up!!!
Like I said earlier, I intend to be all over this one so HOPEFULLY the media can't spin it. However, I'm just one person....
I mean sure, there are bad guys there who would love to pull this off. Blaming organizations that have ties to their own doesn't make their
involvement so.
For instance, (hypothetical situation)... I am in direct opposition to the principles of country x. I would love nothing more than to blow them off
the planet. Currently, country y hates me and would like to kill me. Something happens in country y. It would be advantageous for country y to blame
me because then they can pit the more powerful country z against me....
See what I'm saying? Probably not. Country A (the media) has warped everyone.
Edit - I messed up my hypothetical situation.
