Final MSM Street Sweep on Mumbai

What is so strange is that the MSM is confirming much of what the blogs reported within hours.

"Day of reckoning in India after siege ends; 6 Americans among 195 found dead" by Somini Sengupta and Keith Bradsher, New York Times | November 30, 2008

MUMBAI, India - .... As the reckoning began after the three-day terrorist siege here, questions arose about the apparent failure of Indian authorities to anticipate the attack or respond to it more swiftly....

Perhaps the most troubling question to emerge yesterday for the Indian authorities was how, if official estimates are accurate, 10 gunmen could have caused so much carnage and repelled Indian police officers, paramilitary forces, and soldiers for more than three days in three buildings.

As the investigation continued, it was unclear whether the attackers had collaborators already in the city or whether others in their group had escaped. All told, the gunmen struck 10 sites in bustling south Mumbai. Nine of the gunmen were killed and one was captured, officials said....

Notice how they are trying to leave you with the impression that it was only 10 gunmen? I read somewhere it had to be in the hundreds to take ten sites, so WTF? What gives, MSM?

When the gunmen seized Nariman House, the headquarters of a Jewish religious organization, neighbors mistook the initial shots on Wednesday night for firecrackers to celebrate India's cricket victory over England. But when drunken revelers in a nearby alley began throwing bottles and stones, two attackers stepped onto a balcony of Nariman House and opened fire on passersby.... Contrary to earlier reports, it appeared that Westerners were not the gunmen's main targets. They killed whomever they could....

Well, that is about ALL I NEED!!!!!
