I think India government (especially, Sonia govt.) does not have the political or international power to deal with this scenario. India is a soft nation and so can be easily pushed around. Look at the terror attacks one after the another. The latest example is The latest example is Mumbai…:(

Gary,

The cops didn’t turn tail and run. they chased two of the guys out of the train station, and set up a road block, taking down one of them, and capturing the other one alive, beating him up with a lathi - a wooden (now fiber glass) staff that is about 120 cms long and hurts like heck. It’s all on TV and YouTube. check it out. The 10 piglets were taken aback when the cops fired back and thrashed them.

I’m disappointed in you, “Gary.” You’re normally so much more than your average basement-dwelling conspiracy theorist who looks for things that seem “unlikely” and see cover stories in every official pronouncement. Ten guys could have done it - they had the advantage of surprise and were operating in a civilian setting (which, incidentally, is good reason to drop the semi-glorifying tone - even if you don’t have any respect for the targets the terrorists are attacking, the terrorists themselves are still jousting at windmills - human, mostly innocent windmills). I’m not saying it couldn’t have been more guys. I’m not saying the Indians aren’t covering something up. I am saying you didn’t have much to write about.

Like I said in your ‘70′ column, 20 or so still seems plausible. I’d be surprised if there were less than 15 marines, plus a few pre-placements who hooked up with them.

I do not know how many were there. I am sure it is more than 10 and less than 70 but it was an excellent assult. Nearly as good as 9/11. As War Nerd stated we should not ignore them because they are not moral. On the contarary, we should take the inmoral assults more seriously. What would happen if it was Istanbul or Dubai or Rotterdam? What will happen when they attack the pipelines and refineries at the same time? We should be prepared as citizens and the community, there is only little the state can do. Good luck anyone that will be stuck in the next attack.

To Wayne Madsen and supporters:

(btw, “Wayne Madsen” sounds as if you’re either from east buttfuck texas or dressed as batman)

Understand that Ibrahim and Indian muslim mafia ilk have a different agenda from the international muslim extremist jihad. This is clearly an expression of the latter, with Kashmir serving as the “muslim territory under siege from various crusaders.”

Ibrahim/Indian muslim mafia would not cut off their noses to spite their faces by sabotaging the very international business they extort most of their money from in Bombay.

But they bombed the city and killed several hundred you say? The targets there were everyday Hindu rioters who massacred muslims in the slums, not international businessmen. Ibrahim et al have no beef with international business/wealth creation Indians/industries except to extort money from them indirectly.

I think Wayne Madsen is right on the money.
Who cars how many knuckleheads shot the place? What I want to know is who set the whole plan in the first place. The CIA-bred, Mafia-made Ibrahim, who previously organized sea-based attacks sounds like the brains and the money. Why? If peace broke out his ass would be the first in an Indian slammer. Think of all the shit he’d have to say about the US role in all the south Asian BS. Look how quickly we rushed to string up Saadam so he would shut the f*** up after we caught his ass.

Like I said, Wayne’s got a good angle on the Who while you all debate the How.

Seems some of you are Misreading what Mr. Brecher Said. He did not say he believes there were 10 attackers.Nor does he say he gave the original figure of 70 from reading someone elss comments. he says quite clearly that was his assesment, and as an initial assesment it was not a bad guess.I think the assumption Mr nerd went on was that these boys still “had dirt under their fingernails from the plowshares” and were essentially an attempt to make the best use of the available resources, considering the limitations, as far as employing this large pool of available assets in an effective manner.This was before it came to light that this particular group had undergone 18 months training.70 was not an unfair assumption based on what was known to be readily available manpower.
It sounds to me that he believes 23 was a more accurate number, I myself believe a few more than that ran out of ammo and simply disappeared into the local populace.
It was in fact a beautiful example of assymetric warfare (or 4th generation warfare), as originally envisaged by the 2 Chink Red Army Colonels who originally came up with the idea, the whole system of warfare as practiced by Al-Qaeda.

The basic assumption that someone in the ISI knew and condoned and helped with coordination I believe is also accurate( I don’t believe it was sanctioned by the Pakistani govt perse). Reading accounts it is clear that there was in fact a strong local element involved.There was an ongoing battle between the local chief of police( who got blowed away)and the area muslim punks. while i do not so much believe it was carried out by area forces, the local conflict probably heaviliy influenced both the site and timing of the attacks. As far as some local goon with CIA connections being behind the attacks, i doubt it, half the ISI has CIA connections, doesnt mean they serve our interests.I wouldnt doubt, however that he was aware of the attacks beforehand, ind may have agitated for them.

I’d also like to mention the fact that i dont think its mere coincidence that the Indian navy sank a ship it beleived to be a ” Pirate Mothership” right before this all happened.As the commander of the Samar stated, they had “intelligence” that such a vessel was operatingin the area( yeah, its kinda far apart)but i cant help but wonder if the reports that we supposedly gave the new dehli govt concerning a likely attack, “seaborne” i might add, didnt figure into the mind of the captain of the Samar before he blew a Thai fishing boat out of the water.
