Thread Name: terrorist attacks in Mumbai - Nov 2008
Subject: Obit: 155 Souls in India
I've been checking for the last few days and have yet to see anything about this so I thought I'd be the first to bring it up. Besides, Bobert thinks we're all gone. I'd love to disappoint him.

It seems as if Islamic militism is alive and well. Over the past few days, Islamic militants and Indian police and military commandos have been doing battle in and around the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, India. As of just a short bit ago, all terrorists have reportedly been killed. Among those dead, due to the terrorists, are approximately 155 Indians, Brits, Americans as well as various other nationalities.

Evidently, according to the news reports, the militants were able to infiltrate the Indian culture and find jobs in Mumbai. They were educated enough to know what they were doing and know where they were going to do it.

In a statement released Wednesday, Obama spokesman Brooke Anderson said. "President-Elect Obama strongly condemns today's terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and his thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the people of India."

"These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism. The United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks,"she continued. " We stand with the people of India, whose democracy will prove far more resilient than the hateful ideology that led to these attacks."

Now, we're staring at the fact of maybe another attack getting ready to happen in NYC. I pray that it doesn't happen. But if the fact that just because this country saw fit to elect an unproven man to the office of POTUS causes us to have another attack just to....let's see....how did Biden put it...."It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." If that attack comes about just to "test the mettle of this guy" then the blood of innocent Americans will be on the hands of all that voted for this man.

Again, I pray that it doesn't happen. I hope Obama has what it takes to either stop it before it happens but if he doesn't, then I hope he has the backbone to continue to do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn't happen again.....

For you and your families sake, for me and my family's sake and for the sake of our military, who at this very moment are doing that very thing all over the world.
