The horror in India - waiting for the 'Bush' angle
Perry de Havilland (London)  Indian subcontinent

It now looks like the death toll in the sickening atrocity in Bombay will probably top two hundred innocent civilians, with hundred more injured, many of them horribly maimed. But then as any Indian could have told you years ago, evil horrors like this perpetrated by Islamist psychopaths do not just happen in New York, London and Tel Aviv.

So tell me, how long before the good folks at Democratic Underground find some way to blame BushMacHitler for this? This is a truly ghastly attack and we all know that America-centric buffoons infected with Bush Derangement Syndrome cannot even conceive of something bad happening which does not somehow involve the United States.

I invite the commentariat to find the articles somehow blaming the US administration for this. You know it is going to happen.

Comments

The explanations I have come across so far cite the ongoing stand-off in Kashmir, and the status of India, in the eyes of these wankers, as a broadly pro-west, Anglosphere, pro-capitalist nation. It was targeted as much for what it is, and is becoming, as for the explicit foreign and military policies of its leadership.

No appeasement a la Spain would make any difference.

No, I am waiting for the true Moonbats to start barking.

Yes, there has been a series of terrible bombings in India...Soooo.... why don't y'all use the opportunity to vent some spleen on Democrats and preemptively accuse them of using the tragedy as an opportunity to attack Bush. Makes sense in a right wing kind of way, I suppose.

Bush failed to prevent global warming, which contributes to a rise in train bombings.

And there was me wondering how long it would be before some Samizdatista exploited the bombings to blame left-wingers for something they haven't even done. I guess now I know.

it's from experience Jim... the left always blame tragedy like this on our western ideas of capitalism and liberty

I am no fan of Bush and I probably bash conservatives more than socialists but history has shown again and again and again what happens when such things occur.

And it is not 'the left', it is certain elements in the left. There are many sensible (albeit benighted) lefties who have no truck with absurd conspiracy theories and have effectively resisted catching BDS.

Hey 1MaNLan and Jim:

Here ya go, dumbasses! Follow the link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2381900&mesg_id=2382583

Enjoy the thread. Frankly, I'm surprised that some of the posters aren't totally sanity-challenged.

Well, The Mumbai train bombing is fairly recent. Give 'em time. While you're waiting, here's the Guardian expose about how George Bush stole the Mexican election.

So there Jim . . .

Ladies and Gents... WE HAVE A WINNER!

Typical False Flag Op, Plenty Benefits for Bush. For one thing Bush regime wants a nuclear deal with India. He has to keep India in the axis during the war on Islam.. er .. war on Terror. The recent false flag ops in Europe by Bush allies Blair and Aznar were also train bombings, 3/11 and 7/7, as of course was the Bologna bombing in 1980, false flag of Red Brigades, later shown to be Gladio (NATO covert strategy of tension terror)

See it here, as predicted by Perry.

OK I was wrong. No need to wait.

will probably top two hundred innocent civilians

Sigh,

The kufir simply do not understand.

You must remember, anyone who has the opportunity to submit to the will of God, and does not, is NOT innocent. Anyone who refuses to submit is wilfully rejecting Muhammed (pbuh) as prophet, refusing Gods mercy and as such deserves anything which happens to them.

Remember, next time you see an isloapologist on TV, generically condeming the killing of innocents but refusing to condem the killers, that by his lights there is no contradiction. Only Muslims can be innocent.

Bush recently visited India. Connect the dots.

"Here ya go, dumbasses!"

Wow, you found someone even thicker than you. Congratulations, I'm sure all that time spent trawling through DU posts was well spent.

"So there Jim . . ."

So where?


Posted by Jim at July 13, 2006 08:07 AM

Good on the Indians for having the trains running again the same day.

I've just read the Grauniad article and comments CFM linked to. Ye gods, that was frightening. Talk about barking moonbats...

I've got one better: it was Bush's fault that Zidane headbutted Materazzi
