not a popular choice...

dempsey is hardly the fighting mans leader from the front
but more of a staff officer/ training command/logistics type
with baggage from connection to possee comitatus violations
at Ft Rucker/ Dothan Alabama and serious questions re suicide programs

lots and lots of criticism of Obama's decision
to skip over Marine Gen Cartwright ....

dempsey lacks "command presence"

seems like an odd choice ...

would not have been mine.

three bomb explosions in Mumbai

many dead


one was directed at the Opera House

Opera House is the hub of India's $30 billion worth diamond trade. The area also houses the offices of diamond dealers and big manufacturing companies. Each diamond company, big or small, has its office in the twin buildings from where they carry out export and import of rough and polished diamonds. Recalling Wednesday's horror, Paresh Gandhi, a diamond dealer who owns an office near Opera House, says, "The blast shattered the window panes on the sixth floor of Prasad Chambers. The scene on the road was horrifying; blood and flesh were strewn on the road. There was smoke everywhere."

Terrorists move to Skype, frustrate eavesdroppers

A senior Army officer said they were getting credible inputs that Kashmiri terrorists were being provided smart phones from which calls could be made using Skype.

NEW DELHI: Terrorist organizations targeting India have moved their communications significantly to Internet and other possible innovative means, denying Indian intelligence agencies any major breakthrough yet in their post-Mumbai blasts investigations.

Intelligence agencies have been carrying out intense sweeping of various communication means, especially mobile and satellite networks to see if there are any suspicious phone calls, and any possible contacts between individuals in India and their contacts in Pakistan. It is a standard practice, one which has paid them rich dividends in most investigations in the past.

But this time around, agencies are finding an unusual silence, and almost no contacts across the border. This despite significant upgrade in the eavesdropping capabilities of most agencies in recent times, especially that of Research and Analysis Wing, Intelligence Bureau and NTRO ( National Technical Research Organisation).

A senior intelligence officer said they had for sometime now been suspecting that the terrorists had moved their communications to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a communication technology that helps delivery of voice and multimedia data over Internet.

A senior Army officer said they were getting credible inputs in recent times that Kashmiri terrorists were being provided smart phones from which calls could be made using Skype, the popular Internet VoIP site. Though they haven't yet recovered any such Skype phones, Army found that communications over mobile and Thuraya satellite phones had mostly dried up, he said.

Ever since Indian agencies exhibited that they could easily listen in on radio sets of terrorist groups, they had moved on to satellite phones for their contacts across the border. Indian agencies took sometime to figure out how to listen in on satellite phones, mostly supplied by Thuraya. In recent years, this provided Indian intelligence agencies a wealth of data, and several real time updates on terrorists targeting India.

Now that terrorists have moved to VoIP communications, the Army officer admitted that they would have to figure out "foolproof methods" to monitor communications between India and Pakistan.

Far be it from me to criticize the meat eaters, but I think somebody has forgotten the lessons of Padilla airfield in Panama. If you need 25 SEALs , you don't need SEALs.

This is what the Ranger regiment is for.

22 NAVY SEALS KILLED BY TALIBAN



KABUL, Afghanistan — In the deadliest day for American forces in the nearly decade-long war in Afghanistan, insurgents shot down a Chinook transport helicopter on Saturday, killing 30 Americans, including some Navy Seal commandos from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden, as well as 8 Afghans, American and Afghan officials said.

The helicopter, on a night-raid mission in the Tangi Valley of Wardak Province, to the west of Kabul, was most likely brought down by a rocket-propelled grenade, one coalition official said.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, and they could hardly have found a more valuable target: American officials said that 22 of the dead were Navy Seal commandos, including members of Seal Team 6.
