Trident and Oberoi seem to be the same, similar events and timing.

If so, two prong assault underway, taj and Oberoi.

If not, three pronged assault underway.

Possibly 4, with Nariman House reported involved

Explosions MIGHT be entry charges, might be other too.

Attack came from rubberized boats. They run very silent. One would think they definitely cannot run all the way from Pakistan on rubberized boats. Must have had a staging area or an offshore platform. At any rate, Mumbai under siege from the sea.

According to Colson, a minute ago on Fox, this is a huge offense and well orchestrated to take out the police station first to give them time to carry out the rest of their attack without worry...

“Obama should shut up, and Bush should stand up, but neither will. This is not good stuff.”

The Indian TV about an hour ago stated Obama’s assurances and seemed glad for it.

Nothing from Bush.

True, they knew that terrorism would swing the Spanish voters to the liberal side, but an attack before out election would swing it to McCain.

Found this at The Australian:

...Trident Hotel, formerly known as the Oberoi, one of two hotels targeted...

So those two are one, as you correctly speculated.

The Trident and the Oberi are adjacent to one another.

Emergency meeting called by the Prime Minister per NDTV- intel saying this is international conspiracy. ( No idea what that may mean)

My prediction of the US media trotting out the suppressed 9/11 footage after it wouldn’t help the Republicans may come true sooner than I thought...

I think “Trident” is another name for the Oberoi Hotel, so it’s still two hotels.

“international conspiracy” is speculation about ISI/Pakistan.

And there are states in this union that do not let their citizens carry weapons to protect themselves.

Who believes this type of an event can’t happen here? If you do, you need to pull your head out of the sand.

They specifically took out the police anti-terror chief... Not likely by coincidence...

My guess is that Somali pirate money is funding this and it could be payback. Could be a Pirate platform offshore somewhere. The Italian coastline had to deal with raids similar to this a few centuries ago. Was Berber Islamic pirates back then.
