How are you and your family?
Thanks, that one opened.
Correction: 8 kilograms of RDX
Close and open a new window - see #1138 for links
Maybe the exact composition of the RDX found may help with tracing source(s) of support for the terrorists?
Aren’t there usually clues to the point of origin from studying the exact chemical composition?
“Turns out, this is still a very dangerous world. How about a do-over on that election we just held?”
Well, that’s the nut of all this, isn’t it? Not only can we not have a do-over, but with Obama overstepping his current role, and the cowardly “global community” fawning over his every step, we are now at our most vulnerable.
On the upside, this knocks the economy off the front page, and may distract congress from trying to “save” it.
But the fact remains we are stuck with a future CiC who is now being tested. If nothing else, the events of tonight (and likely future events) may prevent this country from making the mistake of electing an Obamaesque president ever again. It’s going to be a long four years in the mean time.

New Delhi: Ten people reportedly sneaked into Mumbai via the sea route from Karachi and carried out a pre-planned and well-orchestrated strike in India under the aegis of the dreaded Lashkar-e-Taiba militant outfit.
A report on Times Now quoted intelligence agencies as saying that the timing of the terror attack coincided with efforts at peace talks between the newly elected regime in Pakistan and the authorities in India.
The militants reportedly used speed-boats to get from the coast of Karachi to Mumbai and then spread out into the southern part of the city and spread mayhem around the central business district by storming two major hotels and opening indiscriminate fire at several places.
The report quoted the intelligence agencies as saying that this information came from one of the captured terrorists after last night's heist in India's financial capital that saw more than 87 people lose their lives and 200 being injured with a few hostage dramas continuing for nearly 12 hours.
The report also said that there was no group called the Deccan Mujahideen and the e-mail has been traced back to a fictitious IP address in Russia. It said that the hawkish elements in Pakistan stage-managed this terror attacks to coincide with the visit of Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who was to visit Chandigarh today in the company of his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee, a trip that has since been cancelled.

It’s all OK because David Gurgle (Gergen) was just on CNN assuring everyone that Obambi is appointing a “heavyweight” national security team and all will be well.....
In fact, Gergen has the nerve to say that Obambi will be appointing a MORE serious national security team than he otherwise might have..... so THAT is re-assuring, that Obambi suddenly takes national security more seriously now???????
So?
You’re right- except it’s after 9-11 and they MAY have a little more realistic view now.
The good news is he’s keeping Gates for at least a year- so we don’t need to get someone up to speed.
Haven't had any success with NDTV since Fox stopped simulcasting it a couple of hours ago.
