Those expecting the terrorists to give the upcoming Obama administration a break better wake up. For these goons, it doesn’t matter who the President of the United States is. They will continue to do what they do, and we must be ready to protect our country and to defend our allies when they need us.
The Times of India is reporting:
Mumbai came under an unprecedented night attack as terrorists used heavy machine guns, including AK-47s, and grenades to strike at the city’s most high-profile targets — the hyper-busy CST (formerly VT) rail terminus; the landmark Taj Hotel at the Gateway and the luxury Oberoi Trident at Nariman Point; the domestic airport at Santa Cruz; the Cama and GT hospitals near CST; the Metro Adlabs multiplex and Mazgaon Dockyard — killing at least 80 and sending more than 900 to hospital, according to latest reports.
The Deccan Mujahideen is claiming responsibility for the attacks.
Make no mistake about it — Vice President-elect Biden was absolutely right. Barack Obama will be tested early and often at the beginning of his Presidency. We must all pray that President-elect Obama and his security team get the right information and have the right strategy to keep us safe and to keep attacks like this from happening here in America.
I agree. This is some crazy stuff.
Obama will be tested early and often and he’s got one chance — the first time — to get his response right, otherwise he and the country are in big trouble.
Normally I’d be dead certain that a Liberal Democrat would screw the pooch on national security/terrorism issues.
I’m cautiously optimistic with Obama given some of his Cabinet appointments.
But I continue to pray for our country because I doubt many other politicians have the balls of President Bush. He’s batted 1,000% on national security AND he and his team built the apparatus responsible for keeping us safe.
Bush has done his primary job spectacularly.
