The tinfoil hat part of me thinks they SOMEHOW the chimp regime will find a way to benefit from all of this..Jan 20th cannot get here soon enough. I can't see the current Indian government wanting this to happen cuz there is a general election in 4 months (per their news) and the current office holders are throwing everyone they can out of office in hopes of decreasing Indians' anger before they hit the poll booths. All those "resignations" we've been reading about have come only after TONS of angry media coverage...THEIR media people don't pull any punches during their reports, they have been all over the pre-attack security missteps and post-attack stupid politican comments/actions (one of the pols resigned after calling the Mumbai attack a "small incident"!). Pretty damn refreshing to watch THIER news after having our US lapdog M$M for the last 8 years!
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Dawood_confident_Pak_establishment_wont_touch_him/articleshow/3789890.cmsSecurity agency sources told TOI on Wednesday that it's business as usual for the underworld kingpin. A few days ago, a couple of his relatives, including Salim Ansari, flew to Pakistan (using their valid Indian passports) to meet him. Sources said the don was so confident that he would not be touched by the Pakistani establishment that he had made no changes in his daily routine.
He continues to phone his contacts in Mumbai. Recently, a contact who fronts for him in the real estate business reportedly sent Rs 120 crore via hawala, sources in the government stated. The hawala channel between Mumbai and Karachi remains busy.

Indian security agencies are keeping close tabs on Dawood's movements, as are their counterparts in the US intelligence establishment. It's on the basis of detailed inputs from them that India maintains that Dawood Ibrahim is in Pakistan. But central agencies question why the Maharashtra government has not taken any action against the D-company here

Meanwhile,
security agencies are hoping the US will move on Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders, including Abu Hamza and Hafeez Syed. An email sent to a TV channel was traced to an LeT hideout near Muridke in Pakistan's Punjab province. The phone intercepts of the LeT terrorists who executed the Mumbai massacre also reveal their links to Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The United States has set the stage for punitive internationally-backed strikes by India against terrorist camps in Pakistan, if
Islamabad does not act first to dismantle them, by rejecting President Zardari’s alibi that non-state actors were responsible for the last week’s carnage in Mumbai.
Although US officials have not outright approved immediate punitive Indian strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan, it is clear Rice has bought time for Islamabad to prove its bonafides and promise of cooperation. Pakistan has a ''special responsibility'' and needs to act ''urgently'' she said, even as India has indicated it will wait for a Pakistani response to its demands before any punitive action.
In Washington, experts pressed the administration to expand the scope of punitive strikes to an international level to avoid making it an India-Pakistan issue, particularly since the death toll included citizens of 10 countries.

Rice will proceed to Islamabad on Thursday to read the riot act while U.S Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen is expected to arrive in New Delhi as
part of U.S playbook to keep a stream of visitors in the region in order to prevent outbreak of immediate hostilities.
