What a waste of time, all these guys are talking about fighting, jeepers.
Don't they know that Pakistan has got plenty of this detergent that could clean them Hindustanis in one cycle.

Israeli media calls India's reaction 'slow, confused'

New Delhi: As India turned down Israel's offer to send its crack commandos to Mumbai to rescue Israeli hostages held in a Jewish centre, an influential newspaper in Tel Aviv has criticised "slow, confused and inefficient" response of Indian authorities to the terror attacks in Mumbai.

"In the first several hours after the Mumbai incidents began, the response of the Indian authorities was slow, confused and inefficient," said an article in Haaretz, entitled "Is al Qaeda behind the Mumbai terror attacks?"

"The first forces sent to the scene were inexperienced local police officers, who suffered many casualties as a result," said the article published in Friday's edition of the daily.

"It took some time before military and security authorities realised the scope of the attack and deployed skilled security forced, including army and navy commando units," the article said.

The editorial pages of Haaretz, published in both Hebrew and English, are considered influential among government leaders, intellectuals, academics, and professionals.

The bodies of five Jews were found inside the Jewish centre - Nariman House - a home to Chabad Lubavich sect, in which an Israeli rabbi and his family were trapped.

"India said a polite no to an offer by Israel for dispatching counter terror forces," Haaretz pointed out.

"It appears the Indian government is not interested in high profile security assistance from Israel. Throughout the day, the Homefront Command prepared to send an aid delegation to India but efforts were halted when it became clear that Delhi was not enthusiastic about the prospect," the daily said.

Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni Thursday offered Israel's assistance to India in dealing with terror attacks and its aftermath. Livni also called her Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee and underlined her country's solidarity in the fight against terrorism.

Tel Aviv is not happy with New Delhi's rejection of its offer to send its elite commando force to rescue hostages trapped in Mumbai's luxury hotels and in Nariman House, reliable sources said.

The Israeli defence minister also expressed concerns over the fate of Israelis caught up in the attacks. He also thanked the Indian government for its efforts to trace the missing Israeli nationals visiting Mumbai

Nothing justifies attacking innocent civilians in such barbaric manner.
Nothing justifies condoning of acts that are condemnable, be it any nationality or religion.
Those who cheer & applaud such acts are no less than the barbaric terrorists committed such acts.
In short the present events are Terrorist acts of some screwed up people it doesn't matter what name they adopt or what group they may be, their acts place them under the title of terrorists, while they are neither Jihadi no Mujahid as they claim to be.
I send my condolences to all the affected citizens and the Govt. of India while, no one can make any sense out of this latest event.
Urdu News Columnists and Anchors -- should we always believe them?

Re: # 34
Sure NKG, feel free to establish your opinion, we are two individuals who look at things differently.
BTW English newspapers are rated higher even with the recycler, so I am sure they must have a different level for screening and it is their choice just like the two of us have a different angle on this issue.
The right to opinion is yours and I certainly agree to disagree.
The Indian Obama!

Posted by MatloobZaman Nov 20, 2008 08:04 pm
The genes of journalists no matter what language or part of the world they may be from are about the same, they always want to be the first to report anything and a lot of times they hastily end up reporting incorrect reports. I have seen this in many parts of the world where journalist and media insists by stating, "remember we broke the news first".
They love to see news in the making and often pave the way for news that are made with the efforts and support of media, language is no barrier nor is region.

Columnists be they conduct their professional tasks in Urdu or English, it makes no difference journalists speakers of other languages are just as bad or good.
The only place where I recall ever having noticed the difference is when the raddi paper walay bought old paper for recycling they paid a better rate for English papers & magazines as compared to Urdu. Not sure if the raddi paper business still prevails or not since "bhoosi tukray" may be a thing of past after the flour price fixing nuisance.

I would not want to believe this either but if not imminent it's in the plans.
Not sure if you came across GB's praise of Musharraf when his administration on his clock conducted massive arrests in Pak and when the emergency was declared, and stated that he(GB) should take a lesson from this how to control masses and politics.
so there you go Mr. Akhmad

After all there is some truth to these preparations, now its possible that these plans may not be implemented by G. Bush, the Bush under which we live.

Re: # 10 Barristerakc
I second you on that opinion and understand your point very well. At the given moment I agree Pakistan is not ready and able to take another shake up of elected authority and those who have received the mandate should be allowed to function as that is the only thing in the favor of our homeland.
Hopefully we will get across this ocean of problems once again, lets wait and see while contributing for the cause.
Yes we can, Obama!

Who are you?
I am sure everyone here is well educated other than the obvious one.
Just wait till your butt is cut and pasted elsewhere since you love to stick it where it doesn't belong.
Are you appointed as some jamaydar/bhangi/choora by the Chowk administration and feel threatened by what others feel should be brought to the attention of general audience?
Why don't you live with what others have to say?
Insha'Allah the day will come when those shinning beacons will shine through the rear-ends of your kind and your aulaad.
Stop inflicting insults against our beloved Prophet PBUH:
you don't seem to have enough gooda in your bones so you want to bring in "if you are not careful the horrible hindoos will send you packing back to kashghar or mecca or baghdad or some other godforsaken place you claim you came from ........"
Since you are such a handicap & retard why don't you shut up and mind your very own business as you are worse than a great number of Hindus who interact here in a much pleasant manner, but what do you know about mannerism you happen to be a murtid with a name you accidentally received from your parents perhaps since you lived in Muslim neighborhood.
In future don't address me about the posts that were not posted to your attention. What did you do with the money your mama gave you to go to school.
Against Zardari\'s Pakistan
Posted by MatloobZaman Nov 11, 2008 05:57 pm
Can't seem to understand when, where and how Zardari became a politician. Yes he did somehow entered the pavillion during BB's reign however that does not qualify him as a politician nor does his long term incarceration whether or not it was justified qualifies him for bearing the credentials of a politician.
What Pakistan is seeing today of Zardari or PPP is strictly based upon the "sympathy factor" and nothing else.
In as much as the Not-so-Sharif brothers are concerned who were brought up by the then Military Dictator (Late)Gen. Zia Ul Haq, while the two are tunnel visioned, cock-eyed so-called politicians who look for their very own interest and for their cronies too just like true with any other politicians of Pakistan who either came corrupted or became corrupted.
