Right, but when you look at the 1000s dead over time due to the sporadic terrorist attacks then it makes me wonder why the US made such a big deal about supporting India & sending the FBI. The media talking about al queda etc... why now? why not after any of the other attacks? It's obvious that they aren't now following ALL of India's terrorist attacks - just the one sequence of events.

Perhaps because this terrorist attack took 60 hours to complete and the fact that it resembled a military operation??

just checked bbc news, there's nothing so far

I don't think three will be a war between Pakistan and India, I think the two governments will unite to drive out radical Islamic terrorists. I doubt if the money to finance these terrorist is coming from Pakistan.

It is time to search out the fanatics who are pushing terrorism, tear them out by the roots, and toss them into the chipper. There is nothing honorable in these actions, killing innocents in the name of God is an abomination.

Pakistan is an Islamic state.

It pushed out its prior leader mostly due to him not defending
the terrorists in the tribal areas under US attack.

3 wars between them have occurred in the past.

3 prior wars between India and Pakistan

There has been a building animosity and ppl have taken to the
streets marching with swords raised in the air.

The level of anger has not been this high in a long time.

Anger in India at high levels

So while the politicos might trade pleasantries, the ppl are pissed.

Just wondering because this is just too convenient.

To me Isreal is to some the root of all evil, and thats crap. How many have a "never ending open ended death sentence" for just being that nation? How many have thousands of years of hate, for being that religion? The Jews can't get a break from anyone, and yes if I was Jewish, or lived in Isreal I would be armed to the teeth and want nukes and everything else. I have a feeling if Isreal is nuked by anyone, certain mechanisims will engage automaticly. Call it the "dooms day response". My assumption is they have proceedures in place to take out their most vile and brutal enemys. (I have a spooky feeling we may just do the same, kind of doubt it but ours is a much larger nation). God help ANYONE who pulls such a stunt, against the USA or MOST CERTAINLY Isreal.

Yes, the US has boomer subs 24 missiles, 6 warheads each for
a total of 144 per sub.

Israel can launch nuclear cruise missiles from their subs, fairly easy to
shoot down as they are subsonic.

Subsonic Israeli nuclear tipped cruise missiles

But I am sure they have some missiles on land that are not so
easy to shootdown.

So here we go again! What do you all think are the positions of China and Russia are on this? Standing by with my tent and winter gear

Sad how for a certain group of people that when anything bad happens in the world, it's automatically the fault of Israel, the U.S., the U.K., all of the above.

BTW, like your avatar, even if I don't agree with your post.

Don't blame the Israelis.....

Blame the CIA and other arms of the U.S. Empire... you know, the folks that tell Israel what to do.

While this may escalate, there are quite a few more missteps that need to occur before even regular convential warfare is kicked around. I think that is even a good ways off, if even happens, which it may well not do.

Nukes though? I swear, I could be mistaken, but it seems like some folks here salivate at the thought of a nuclear war. I do not want one. And I think that would be a looooong way off. Why people here assume that a country is willing to in essense, commit suicide and global destruction, as a "sound military action," baffles me. Nukes are not even considered a last resort. People here act as if people are just waiting with twitching fingers, for any excuse to annihilate themselves.

Usually when something happens in the world, it IS the fault of the U.S. government....

I think people have a solid basis for distrust.

Based on just the opinions of some people and little else, because those countries are easy scapegoats. Amazing how some people can just as easily turn a blind eye towards the countries that are REALLY causing the problems for their own people and others. Example: awhile back I started a thread about how people rant and rave about Bush (falsely) being a "dictator" while ignoring Putin's very real moves to become just that.

Read some history (not from the internet) and check SEVERAL sources for your news.

still no mainstream news is reporting this. I dont think this is anything to worry about because it seems to be completely unrelated to mumbai. Completely different attack in a completely different part of india.

A question that is probably more relevant to the Bombay attacks (yes, I'm English, deal with it) and one that can be highlighted by my previous choice of word.

When did the attackers stop being "Terrorists" and started being "Militants"?

Just like when the Bail-out became the Rescue-plan. In U.K. media sources whenever I saw a reference to these people it was not terrorist that was used.

Maybe I'm resorting to confirmation bias again but I'm sure a militant would be easier to sell as "living next door" than terrorists, the latter which obviously live in caves in Afghanistan.

I can't find a single article to back up what this one is saying. Is this story even real?! It's been almost a day since it's been posted!

EDIT: I withdraw what I said previously, I have now found plenty of alternative articles covering this incident:

Mossad would never do that....they obviously haven't thought of doing something like that.

Wow, makes you wonder if Obama knows what he is getting into. It looks like there will be trouble between India and Pakistan. Now, all we need into the mix is Iran and Israel...........then of course US!

You've got to be kidding! Yeah - blame the Jews! They MUST be involved!
Could it possibly be that maybe - just maybe- there are a bunch of nut-job Islamic Extremists that just want to blow stuff up for Allah? Could it be that someone in the world might have a motivation other than supporting the secret Zionist Cabal? (dramatic music cue here)
How about just looking at the facts and placing blame where it belongs? Don't blame Israel for everything.

Or could it be that Israel is actually trying to create Zion? So they need excused to pull the US and Great Britian into the wars with them?

I seriously doubt there is one "Muslim Extremist" on the Planet, and don't waste your timeshowing me "scary" photos of angry activists holding signs.

You're right! Maybe Obama should quit now - while he's ahead. Otherwise, 4 years from now they will be blaming HIM for all this mess.
