'There were bodies everywhere': Mumbai survivor
The Times of India ^ | Nov. 29, 2008 | AP story

Posted on 11/28/2008 8:55:19 PM PST by smokingfrog

MUMBAI: At first, waiter Joseph Joy Pulithara thought the blasts were rows of liquor bottles exploding for some reason behind the Mumbai hotel's sleek bar. Running to the scene, he found a woman screaming, and a young man spraying gunfire.

The gunman was a member of a team that was well-armed, well-prepared and had just begun a two-day siege that would shut down India's financial and entertainment capital, leave more than 150 people dead and 370 injured, and turn the city's ritzy seaside district into a scene of horror.

Thank you for serving, oldenuff2no.

Not that I wish to detract at all from what you've posted; but what you've posted has given me pause. In another direction. Is it possible that radical Moslemism is in fact embodied in the flick "Night of the Living Dead"? Their zealous cult brand of sectarian Moslemism is in fact a religion of the dead for the dead?

Rhetorically written.

Perpetrators – the New York Times.

The NY Times had the friendliest description.

The Beeb also uses the word militants to describe the men who killed the leader of the anti-terrorist squad.

Sigh.

You may find this strange but here in the UK I tend to watch Aljazeera news. It is less biased than the BBC and a lot less P.C. And when it is biased at least I can easily understand where they are comming from.

I know it sounds idiotic but it’s true.

Is Bush still calling Islam a religion of peace?

Remember after 9/11 when Franklin Graham was so harshly condemned for calling Islam “evil and wicked”?

Murderous Muslim Savages - L,TOWM

Our news organs are deliberately attempting to obfuscate the fact that civilization and Islam are incompatible.

Once the common folk in the Western democracies draw that conclusion, we may just demand our that our leaders attempt to achieve the same objectives that the death cult of Islam demands from its followers: universal death or conversion.

>>>>Haven’t heard much from Bush either.<<<<<

He made some brief comments the other day (something like “we feel you pain”), and there was a report that India had refused all offers of US assistance (but who knows if that’s true).

Assailants - National Public Radio.
Attackers – the Economist.
Bombers – the Guardian.

[snip]

Thanks for that list.

We must rise above our wholly justified indignation toward an endemically lazy, corrupt, cowardly, and demented MSM.

>>>>>how many bad guys were in-country total?<<<<<

There have been lots of reports, 20 to 40.

Last I saw was 10 killed and 9 captured.

>>>>>here in the UK I tend to watch Aljazeera news.<<<<<

I went to AJ briefly because they were running a live stream when all the Indian feeds were whacky due to government contraints (aka censorship).

Over at the Beeb stream they managed to make two outrageous statements in 30 seconds, one was to call the attacks “a concentrated assault on American and British citizens” (paraphrase).

A little weird since at the time there were ZERO known American casualties and even now it’s less than 1/2 of 1 percent.

Click!

NDTV stream is OK. Better than IBN which is very CNN-like and also bombastic.

No I understand. I have watched ALJ English language version before and felt the same thing compared to our media here with some of their reporting.

Beeb and US MSM want to associate the attacks with US foreign policy.

CNN was over the top with that angle the first night of the attacks.

The NYPost reporting Obama’s statement about the terror attacks.

Not a word about our President’s statement.

President Bush made a statement. The msm, as is their way, chose to pretty much ignore him.

That does not mean he didn’t have a statement.

IBN Mumbai (CNN partner station) tried to float the “targeted at Americans om Indian soil” angle for a while.

None of their guests would take the bait.

Should the members of the IRA have been referred to as "Catholics?"

"Catholics bombed a hotel today...."

"Today, Catholics entered a restaurant and started shooting..."

Personally, I prefer the term "terrorists" to Muslims, Catholics, militants, etc."
