Obama Condemns Mumbai Attacks, Evidence of ‘Grave and Urgent’ Terrorist Threat

Here we go.

This is NOT the time to fight each other.We all should stand firmly against all those brutal act.

Daytona, Outer Banks, Las Vegas, and on and on and on .. who travels to these places unless you work for DELL and have to?

Breaking news – purchase a FAKE German, Spain, Italian, etc etc passport and carry it with you at ALL times if you’re traveling! Just remember what pocket the fake one is in ..

I think everyone condemns the attacks. This was a tragedy.

Welcome to the holiday season world, we have gotten so complacent…but the terrorists have not! India is nothing, any country is vulnerable, especially the good old USA. Wake up call everyone, stay sharp, stay focused and lets stop pretending it won’t happen here philosophy PLEASE!!!!
Thanks,

Happy Thanksgiving too….

He’s sounding so Presedential already !!
We are lucky to have him waiting in the wings..

I am shocked, horrified and angered by the recent terrorist attacks in India. Terrorism must be opposed at all costs; they care for no one but themselves and their body count. We must oppose them with all our strength.
My deepest sympathies to the people of Mumbai.

no matter where these attacks happen in the world it affects us all as a whole.
People who do such acts are nothing but ccowards, and should be delt with accordingly, there is no country ammune tto these acts of cowardly terrorism,GOD bless the people of India and us all

Words cannot express our condemnation, and that of the entire Indian American community, of the terrorist attack in Mumbai, today. We are particularly appalled and concerned at the taking of US and British citizens as hostage. We strongly urge that the United States stand with the Government and people of India at this time, not just with words, but with decisive action. The lives of US citizens are in the balance, and it is imperative that US government agencies offer their full assistance to the Indian authorities. We advise all Americans not to lull themselves into a false sense of security that these attacks are in a far off country, and so do not affect us here at home. If we allow such attacks to occur in democratic allies such as India or Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, we will only embolden the terrorists to further threaten our interests, and those of our friends, everywhere

Obama speaks
President Bush hides.
It is really strange how the Bush WhIte House has just disappeared. Maybe they know a lot of secret and terribly ominous facts we don’t have.

i just pray this should go away

Obama will make all your troubles go away.

I send my deepest sympathies and I pray for all that have been affected by these horrible attacks.

Too much of carnage in the world. It is the time for Unites States and India, the biggest democracy in the world to unite in the fight against real terrorists. Bush’s foolish obsession with Saddam is finally over and it’s time to fight the real terrorism and protect the innocents.

Mmmm. bush doesn’t need to say anything does he now? I would think it’s more…ominous when he doesn’t talk.
You people need to figure it out. Is it that Bush doesn’t do anything, or that he does do things, invading Afghanistan and Iraq etc.
Which is it again that is so terrible and evil?
bob?
meanwhile nobama’s staff (not him personlly) puts out a statement deploring the loss of innocent life.
Omigod! that is so brilliant!!!
Etc.

Barbaric Illegally born Muslim fanatics ruin the harmony of this peace loving World. Everyone must bond together and defeat these evils.The axis of evils lie at Pakistan and Indian-Afghan border. Chase them at this place and erase them to ground. Support war on terror.

shaan
re: “If Pakistan is not able/willing to stop terrorist camps in Pakistan, it has no right to exist as a nation.”
you sound like you’d fit right in with the fundamentalists who see things only in black and white.. so what’s your ‘final solution’, kill everyone in Pakistan because of a few thousand ?

When Barack gets into power, I sure hope he keeps his word and negotiates with the terrorists who kill hundreds. Maybe the promise of equal rights and benefits will end the terror of bombings such as these.

Why didn’t George Bush stop these attacks? He’s still in power . ..

No one making comments here, hope that the people of india and their families are okay and will be okay in the long run. Again as American we seek to lay Blame, what ever happen to the more caring America, the one that reach out to our neighbors in the time of need to express our sympathies. I forgot some Americans only care about party affliation, some of you are right Obama is not the President yet, but he is presidential enough to step and speak out about these violent act. Where is the one the rest of you are still praising. For some of the comments you all make here, I hope you are more faithful to your friends, if you have any.

Too soft on terrorism?
Making a big show of throwing military weight around does sound big and intimidating, sounds “hard on terrorism”, but the reality is that it backfired, and will backfire.
We need to win over the moderate Muslims in the Middle-East to isolate the terrorists. Many previously moderate Muslims became extremist because they were angry at America’s tactics that they felt were bullying- such as invading Iraq. The whole place is in a mess now- the surge improved, but let’s face it, we invaded the wrong country. Over one million Iraqi, men, women and children are dead. How do you think their family members felt?
It is time for more effective tactics that target more precisely the terrorists, and not the whole country. The truth is, our military too, has limits.

MikeMo, good point, I’m sure that the media IS more interested in hearing from Obama than from Bush. Both issued statements that are pretty standard fare. Bush called together the National Security COuncil at the White House to monitor the situation. I do not see any indication that Obama would do anything particularly differently, nor should he.
People should recall that this situation in India has little, if any, connection to American actions around the world. It probably has nothing to do with Iraq or even Afghanistan. The world does not really revolve around us and not everything that happens traces back to us. There are long-standing issues in India that fuel terrorist movements. It could be related to Kashmir, for example. We will have to see. The search for foreign hostages, esp. American and British ones, is disturbing and may indeed indicate an al-Quaeda related group. Time will tell.
One last question– those of you who claim that people in South Asia and the Middle East hate America because of Bush and the Iraq war and that express hope that those people will change their opinion of America because of Obama, I want to know how many actual people from that part of the world you have spoken to in order to form this opinion. Or are you basing your perception on CNN or other news programming? Because I have numerous students who are Arab or South Asian, and their opinions on American foreign policy and their opinions on George Bush are all over the map. There is not a universal condemnation of the Iraq War or Bush. There is not a universal embrace of them, either. It is a complicated thing, and I have enjoyed seeing the diversity of views from my students. Just like in America, people around the world are individuals who do not think like sheep. They have their own points of view which cannot be neatly wrapped up in a cliched, “Bush made the world hate and fear the US.” That’s not what the evidence I have seen here shows– and before you point out that I am talking to students who are in the US and therefore can be assumed to have a higher opinion of this country than those overseas, they often talk about the feelings of their friends, family, and acquaintances back home.

what a stampede of stinking water buffaloes

“How very sad that instead of aggressively targeting one nation after 9/11 Bush did not call on all nations to unite against the terrorists…”

President Bush did tried to get the world united against the terrorist. Many countries didn’t joined us out of fear that they’ll be attacked. They don’t have the stuffs that our military are made of.

“We’re gonna smoke him out” – George W. Bush regarding Osama Bin Laden.
Well, something stinks, but you sure didn’t smoke him out – not in 7 years – MISSION FAILED!

You might say my “creative speculation” was rather fevered.

You American’s are sleeping….
Check out Aaron Russo’s “Freedom to Facism”, read about the fraudulent federal reserve, the motives of groups like the CFR, the Bilderberg Group, the Tavistock Institute, and the Trilateral Commission.
In 2002 Rockefeller authored his autobiography “Memoirs” wherein, on page 405,” Mr. Rockefeller writes: “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as “internationalists” and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
Th war on terror is a fabricated psychological operation on the American people. This financial collapse is part of their plan to institute a global currency and eventually an overt global dictatorship. Welcome to the New World Order (also known as “Novus Ordo Seclorum”, which is conviently placed underneath the occultic symbol of the eye of horus on the backs of your dollar bills).
