As I mentioned before. We have NO IDEA the situation when that picture was taken...

Did you see both pics in that sequence? It looked alot to me as if he were raising the AK with one hand to fire at somebody, I suppose though he could have been directing one of his buddies with the gun. Either way, if the person who took that picture was holding a gun instead of a camera, he would have taken a slug to the teeth and not even seen it coming.

NO SOLDIER, nay NOBODY PERIOD, is going to walk around with weapon-at-ready for over 30 hours!

That image was taken very early in the attack, at the train station, it hadn't even been an hour yet.

You don't know what was going on around him. Maybe he was in an obviously cleared zone and he dropped his weapon!

Okay, maybe the person taking the picture was invisible to him.

I'll tell you this much, though. It is a "fact" that they took out many police officers (if you believe some of the reports, they took out more policemen than they had in number of attackers!)... They also took out at least FOUR high level people. Three top level counter terrorism agents and a MAJOR of the NSG... Top brass.

I believe most of their kills on the police were scored by lobbing grenades, and what in the hell was their counter terrorism chief doing running directly into the line of fire?? I think these guys had people (other extremists) on the inside a few places.

These guys were good, there is no doubt. In fact, the fact that most of the pictures illustrate ONE MAN make me VERY curious!

I still think any training they recieved was in extremist camps, ours or the Indian government may or may not have known about it ahead of time though. Maybe they let it happen, kinda like our government let 9/11 happen because they saw an opportunity to push an agenda. I think there may have been some looking the other way, but no actual involvement from any state.

This just out on local news channels..

Apparently on the 19th-20th of this Indian Intelligence agencies had issued an advisory of a seaborne terror attack in conjunction with US inputs..
Similar warnings from the coast guard..

So who ignored these warnings? State politicos? Center politicos?
There may not be a conspiracy to set up a false flag operation.. but there are definite signs of serious conspiracy that amounts to sheer incompetency at various levels including the inability to act and deploy relevant forces for relevant situations in the least amount of time.

new accusations that the NSG, though originally formed to deal with hijack and hostage situations, has been primarily dealing with VIP and VVIP security..

The Indian media is ripping this apart.. Serious questions being asked.. Heads may roll..

Sounds more like 9/11 all the time . Next thing we'll hear is the Indian navy couldn't respond because they were off on some kind of terror exercise off the coast of bangladesh and larry silverstein only just purchased the Taj hotel and took out a big insurance out on it against any act of terrorism.

Make sure they don't knock those hotels down and whisk them off to china as rubble before they take any fingerprints.

Must say thou , if americans get any grief for their media being in anyway complicit , they only got to point at India's media and say , it ain't just us . Then again, it's about global now , as we saw with the way they handled the Georgia/Russia conflict.
