The first shooting took place near the CST police station

I am Speaking about the chosen one.
IMO, they want to destroy The Taj. They hate human beings and culture.
Jewish Center: still active per Fox News 11:46 EST
Biden only predicts crisis, he doesn’t work them.
msnbc was doing a prison lockup marathon last night.
Those Israeli’s were probably there helping the poor.
BHO’s a pacifist. Fighting is not in his DNA. Campaigning is.
Their Army might not have/are not trained to use tear gas. It is banned from use in war as a "chemical agent".
If only they could’ve stopped the press from broadcasting EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF WHAT COMMANDOS WERE/ARE DOING.
Don’t even go see the drivel the NYTs blog The Lede is putting out... disgusting.
As if these are all the terrorists there are when they are arrested or killed. There are plenty more where these slugs came from.
Prex Bush is monitoring this like he monitored Katrina imo.
Under the circumstances I doubt we could be doing any better. The time for GB to go after these terrorists is coming though..with or without permission IMO.
Oberoi, Nariman House - reportedly secure
TAJ terrorist not yet at room temperature.
What more could he do? He called himself to plead for an evacuation. They refused.
i agree that in any real terms, the world and the US will be left vunerable. BHO will talk alot and do nothing tangible.
I had the volume down. Did anyone catch the numbers they just gave out about the terrorists (being) from Pakistan and Bangladesh?
If it happened here most would do what they could without exposing themselves too much, some would do whatever it takes and a small group would skedaddle.
Probably the same as happened there, in other words.
Woodrow Wilson’s War Speech to Congress, 2 April 1917
(Time to pull this off the shelf and update it) :

I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. . .
It is a war against all nations. American ships have been sunk, American lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same way. There has been no discrimination.
The challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a temperateness for judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feeling away. Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single champion.
(snip)
There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our Nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.

It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance.
But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts - for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own Governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free.
To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do no other.
In my view this is a wrong move on INDIA'S PART !
If it was a package deal, both or none, India did right to turn it down. Our military advice and assistance would be useful. The FBI is a different matter entirely.
