1. The Anglo American Empire (AAE) had since the days of Sir Olaf Caroe and Viceroy’s Studies Group had identified the oil wells of Central Asia as a power centre. Now with the discovery of Yolotan Osman gas reserves at Turkmenistan, and shortest warm water ports through Afghanistan, the AAE needs a staging ground – a home – and Afghanistan gives it one. It depended on Pakistan being a “nation” under its control – however sections of Taliban not under its control – have upset the game plan. With Pakistan moving close to China and Gwadar port in Pakistan becoming a future naval fleet stop for the Chinese Navy, the AAE feels that Pakistan has overstepped its limits – and needs to be reigned in. Lashkar e Taiba is a terrorist outfit that is infiltrated by KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and CIA / SAS elements (Here Michael Vickers played an important role as he was the past paymaster for the Afghan mujahids who are today’s Taliban leaders and he is on personal first name terms with them). Using “back channels” the Mumbai attack was stages. These LeT operatives were going to Kashmir but got “diverted” to Mumbai. This “Mumbai attack” will give a lot of “electronic chatter” from NSA who conveniently “managed” to track all conversations between “handlers” in Pakistan and “terrorists” in Mumbai – thus giving INDIA ammunition that “state agencies (aka ISI) in Pakistan” were involved. Puts India in a bind for it will have to “retaliate” in some form. THe more US helps with proof, the more India is being tied in knots for “some action”.

2. The second reason is economic. With the AAE free falling into the “bankruptcy gravy”, the economies of China and India were fast forwarded into catching up with the AAE empire and this had to be “stopped”. Stratfor commented so in one of their articles that Mumbai hits will slow down economic activity of India tremendously and new investments will be scarce. With armies in ready condition, the costs of operations will move up 7x times than if they were in barracks. And if there is war – wonderful – as both the economies of India and Pakistan will be in shambles. WW II helped US get out of depression, I do not think a reconstruction boom in India / Pakistan post war will be enough to boost the AAE empire this time.
