Pakistan still has a marginally pro-US government. A bloody conflict will almost certainly lead to the creation of a nuclear armed Islamic republic.

...I am sure the good folks in Washington have it all under control.

> An American counter-terrorism official was quoted as saying that there was strong evidence that LeT had a ‘maritime capability’ and would have been able to mount the sophisticated operation in Mumbai.

Crap. Anybody who has read Frederick Forsythe’s “The Dogs of War” has a recipe book for mounting a successful small maritime raid like what happened in Mumbai.

In any war between India and Pakistan, if I were president, I would lean towards India. They are the more stable and they are a democracy.

And the UN could kiss my a$$.

I would lean towards India. They are the more stable and they are a democracy.... and they are an economic world player and most importantly they aren't majority Muslim.

“The New York Times said there was no evidence that Pakistani government had any role in the attacks.”

The NY TIMES said and still says there is NO evidence of Iraqi involvement in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

The NY TIMES said there was no involvement by anybody other than McVeigh and Nichols in the terror attacks in Oklahoma City in 1995 even though it was well documented that eight Iraqi soldier defectors were cheering for Iraq and Saddaham Hussein immediately after the explosions. In Jayna Davis’ book on the attack, she says the FBI refused to take her BOXES of depositions which showed that McVeigh and Nichols did not work alone and the evidence shows that the truck bomb in the parking lot could not have destroyed the building and killed all those people.

In 1996 overwhelming witness’ statements showed that missiles were used to shoot down TWA 800. The NTSB and NY TIMES suppressed the witnesses and concluded that a center fuel tank explosion was responsible for the “tragedy.” That hypothesis originated in the White House with Richard Clark.

Richard Clark you may recall was at the front of the 9/11 hearings that tried to blame Bush for the 9/11 failures.

Muslims in Pakistan are a peaceful group, the NY TIMES says they would never be involved with an attack like this, there is no evidence.

And history shows that if there is, they aren’t going to tell you about it.

Iraqi Documents Show al-Qaida Ties

The ties to the truth in subsequent posts tell a different story than the NY TIMES tells, are they lying or are they stupid? I vote lying but you won’t believe why they lie as they do.

I firmly support India they are a democracy and because Hindus, even though they have their own religious fanatics, don’t try to cram their religion down anyone else’s throats.

Jaish-e-Mohammed (Urdu: جيش محمد, literally The Army of Mohammad, transliterated as Jaish-e-Muhammed, Jaish-e-Mohammad or Jaish-e-Muhammad, often abbreviated as JeM) is a major Islamic terrorist organization in South Asia. Jaish-e-Mohammed was formed in 1994 and is based in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The group's primary motive is to separate Kashmir from India and have carried out a series of terrorist attacks all over India.[1][2]

The group was formed after the supporters of Maulana Masood Azhar split from another Islamic militant organization, Harkut-ul-Mujahideen.

It is believed that the group gets considerable funding by Pakistani expatriates in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. The group is regarded as a terrorist organization by several countries including India, United States and United Kingdom.[1] Jaish-e-Mohammed is viewed by some as the "deadliest" and "the principal terrorist organization in Jammu and Kashmir".[3] The group was also implicated for the kidnapping and murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl.[3]

I heard yesterday that the terrorist travelled via boat, landed, and fanned out through the city.

The outfit is closely linked, through the Binoria Madrassah in Karachi, with the former Taliban regime of Afghanistan and its protégé, Osama bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda. JeM chief, Masood Azhar was released by Indian authorities in Kandahar and has reportedly met Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan on various occasions.

The JeM is also reported to have links with Sunni militant outfits operating in Pakistan such as the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP)and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ).

Indiavikalp focuses on the report that one of the captured terrorists confessed to being a member of the Lashkar-e Tayibah (Army of the Pure), a Pakistan-based jihadi group that used to train in al-Qaeda camps. This group is an offshoot of Da'wa wa Irshad (Missionizing and Guidance), which was linked to the Ahl-i Hadith movement and was originally founded in the mid-1980s to combat Shiite influence in Pakistan.
