...Delhi has withdrawn its top diplomat from Pakistan, canceled train and bus service across the border and widely publicized its troop and hardware movements, always threatening to go further. "The mood of the nation is to hit back," says Sahib Singh Verma, a senior leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Indians were instructed by the media what the logical escalation of pressure would be: limited air strikes, sorties across the border to hit terrorist camps, perhaps an abrogation of a 41-year-old treaty that would deny Pakistan vital waters from rivers that originate in India.

It's one more way that American Airlines Flight 77--which crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11--has shaken the Defense Department...
...solid intelligence on where bin Laden or some top al Qaeda people are - an exact location - and it?s not a situation where a bombing raid would work, then the Marines will be there in an hour or two, probably a surgical-type operation of 100 or so troops.
