The Times is reporting that there are 80 dead, 250 injured and 100 westerners being held hostage tonight.
The terrorists were searching for Brits and Americans. Sky is reporting that a backpacker bar and a hospital has also been attacked. The attackers were not suicide bombers and there are reports of groups driving around the city throwing grenades at forigeners.

I already told the company that I work for that I will go to India to train people IF I'M ARMED.

They asked why armed?

THAT'S WHY.

At least here, in the US, I can carry a concealed weapon in 90% of the places I go, LEGALLY.

(Which is also why I'm not scared of a terrorist, I can hit one at 500 yards with EASE!!!!!)

I believe in peace, but there are always some assholes out there that prey on people like me. So I say we shoot them all in the face. Fuck 'em. Anyone see the picture of that little boy that got shot? Man that REALLY pissed me off.

Indians are really good people, too. Sucks that they have to get caught in the middle of all of this crap Bush started.

Sky news is now talking of around 1000 wounded. 500 eh? Well thats the problem with terrorists, they look like everyone else even from 5 meters away.

What makes you think Bush was behind the attacks?

Because as a result of his presidency, the point is even well-stated by the higher-ups in Miltary Command:

"We're making them faster than we can KILL them".

His watch, as it were.

I didn't say "behind", but it is, after all, under his "watchful eye", as Sarah Palin likes to say.

Commander-in-chief, until, wait, he's not responsible for that..........

I'm sorry, I was mistaken. I had always thought that terrorists were doing things like this long before Bush was President. I see now that I was wrong. Thank you for making me aware of my mistake.

Who was "making" them when they attacked the African embassies, WTC 93, the Marine barracks in Beirut, the USS Cole, WTC 9/11?

The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Terrible stuff. I have a jumper friend in India that went through Mumbai about 10 days ago on her way to a yoga retreat south of Mumbai. I hope that this does not spawn more widespread Hindu/Muslim violence that she may get caught in the middle of.

Worried in Saskatoon.

Critical thinking skills........Lets turn some on and take a shot at this... How many US service people were in the same country that Mecca is in and that Osama guy is from... hmmm lets see now.....


OH YEAH.... Osama was upset there were so many infidels in Saudi Arabia... and lets see.... OH YEAH.. BUSH sent them there to fight.. that Sadaam guy.. remember that little dust up back in the early 1990's..

Does the name Kuwait ring a bell

How about Desert Storm.....


I was under the impression certain people had something to do with that....

Amazing.
Authorities in India aren't sure the group claiming responsibility is the group actually responsible, they aren't sure who it is, why they are doing this, or what they hope to accomplish. Yet some people already know (must be ESP) that Bush is responsible.
Absolutely f***ing amazing.

What kind of concealed weapon do you carry with which you can easily kill a terrorist at 500 yards?

So desert storm caused 9-11? So what you're saying is that Bush SR. was wrong for pushing Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in '91?? Justify that please??

Regardless of whether or not the actions of the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY in '91, not just the US led by Bush, pissed off the terrorists the fact remains that they spent the majority of the 1990's building their confidence by making attacks that went largely unanswered by Clinton.


"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke

Allowing the terrorists to get away with all this brought on the kind of terrorist attacks that are currently happening in India. Now instead of fighting small remnants of AQ we are battling a global organization that had nearly a decade to grow, plan, and conduct such attacks. We had so many chances to send a message to AQ that would have seriously undermined their confidence and every time Clinton declined action.

And since we are bringing up AQ attacks on the US lets not forget Mogadishu. AQ fighters were imported to take on the Rangers, unfortunately for them the terrorists were smashed on October 3rd while only inflicting minimal casualties on US forces. And rather than staying and finishing the job Clinton pissed on the sacrifices of those 18 soldiers who gave their lives that day and pulled out of Somalia.

I typically place the issue of AQ on a difference of principles between us and an extremist organization that feels violence is the best tool to show people your side of the argument but since you wanted to try and place blame I figured I might as well set the record straight. No politician in the US is ever going to be able to "appease" the terrorists and end all the attacks, but the absolute worst thing we can do is nothing at all. There is only one way to deal with terrorists and that is to end their exstence.


Edit to add: A large number of the coalition countries involved in the first gulf war were muslim countries and they didn't take offense to s being in the land of their mecca. Nice try on blaming the Bush family for all that ails the world.

Wow... Way to get a stiffy trying to blame Clinton for everything.. as usual...

Trying to convince one of the true believers is fairly hard to do.. but I think you would find that AQ and Osama were pretty much laughed off at the time... DUDE.. a few extremeists declared war on the USA today... hwy what time are cocktails at the O Club....The intel community and the military were laughing it off.

.No one started even taking them even a little seriously till the later 90's with the embassies and the Cole... the first WTC barely got the intel community even twitching.

But AQ did have its eye on bigger better things

George I took us to Saudi in 1990 for one REALLLLY big reason you seem to have omitted( suprise surprise surpise) OIL.. and his family ties to the SAUD family. The first thing they wanted to do was calm the SAUD jitters of Sadaam continueing south from Kuwait. The Bush family ties goes back half a century there.


Of course.. pushing Sadaam out was a really good thing.. and a very convienient excuse.. but it was certainly NOT the real reason we were there.
Osama hated them for stripping his citizenship in 1994... our being there in their holy places was just icing on the cake for him.. since he sees us as propping up those who are keeping him from taking over the country. 15 of the hijackers were Saudi's....gee I wonder why???

[GQ_jumper 4]

So there was nothing wrong with Clinton letting AQ get away with everything during his 8 years in office?
Like I said before everything our country does will piss off the terrorists regardless of who is in office. We could pull all forces out of the middle east and donate a trillion dollars to muslim countries to maintain their holy sites and we would still be attacked. the difference is how we react to the attacks against us. As we have seen running away isn't the effective strategy.

Absolutely, because they're freedom haters.

Bill Clinton tried to get Al Quaeda, and failed. The Republicans at the time accused him of being overly-obsessed with Osama bin Laden &
Al Quaeda.

Then Bush Jr got into power & fucked around, despite warnings about Osama, until 9/11 happened.

And then afterwards he gave a partially effective response. We broke up the training camps in Afghanistan, but by January Bush had lost interest & was intent on Iraq. Over time Al quaeda had a new base, plus were able to regroup with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Bottom line : Clinton tried, but failed to stop Osama, and the Republicans accused him at the time of being overly obsessed with Al Quaeda. And then Bush first ignored, and then widened & prolonged the war against Al Quaeda.
