Hotel was built around turn of the century, late 1890’s - opened in 1903?
Wonder how well it will hold up in a prolonged fire with older engineering...
Same type of people who would attack a hospital.
“Remember, talk is cheap, no matter who is talking.
Watch the heavy metal to gauge intentions.”
scary thing is with India and Pakistan - alot of the “heavy metal” is already forward deployed. Not saying the trigger is always cocked . . . but just that it won’t take moving much more “heavy metal” into place to light things off
You not using anonymous proxy?
That is certainly a large part of AQ’s planning equation.
They also tried to hit US evening news just in time to commandeer the whole hour with lurid video of carnage.
They failed there, IMO, at least on the broadcast networks. Top billing, but less than five minutes before the drive-by media moved on.
The full implications, and the general order of magnitude of the body count, have yet to permeate thick media brains.
Sometimes stupid reporters work for our benefit.
Are there any attempts to put the fire out, or is it too dangerous?
This lull in the action is...troubling. It’s not over yet, so what are they waiting for?
Thanks for better map link. Also, CNN IBN live stream available here: http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/video_streaming.php
Obviously, Allah told them to attack hospitals and innocent civilians.
No doubt Muslims around the world are once again proud and yet again dancing in the streets. The one truth is, that when ever these attacks from their “Religion of Peace” happen, there is never a massive condemnation of it from the world of Islam. To the contrary.
I’m sorry about your grandmother, and for your familiy members’ imperfect goodbyes. That is so hard.
My prayers will be with you tonight.
Nope. I have a hardware based firewall and a software one. I figure that’s enough to protect my devious plans for global domination.
Bush has a lot of options here too.
I think he could stage a large scale air attack against FATA and get away with it easily.
It would turn Obama into a spluttering idiot, too.
The Indains are going to go postal.
Don’t forget the drive by media attack from the police van.
Gas station too.
Plus possible planned boat bomb on the waterfront.
Where are the massive Left Wing protests and “Human Shields” now?
When we were taking the fight to the Muzzies it was all the media would show and talk about “BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIED!”, that kind of crap.
Guess the stunned silence indicates that maybe ‘ol Bush was right after all...
The news media are all giddy that the Dow went up four days in a row after the Chosen 0ne unveiled his economic team.
I’ll bet half of the reporters don’t even know where Mumbai is.
Getting reports of up to 19 different aimpoints.
If true that raises your estimate by a factor of ten.
Big log trail on an op that size.
Nobody follows those better than NSA.
This old planet is about to get HOT, and combined with everything else going on right now, caps may not be big enough to describe HOT.

WOW,,,I lost count long ago,,,
CNN just reported 87 dead,,,more attacks,,,
They must still be comin’out of the wood-work!
The body count was aimed at the west.
The western hostages were herded upstairs and the fire broke out fully involved, end to end, as soon as the Indians moved in.
Dental records won’t be much help here, but when the missing are tallied....India’s liable to have...a lot of support.
