    Just listening to the radio - a Pakistani historian/political commentator interview.

    He was saying that there was no way Bin Laden could have moved in there without knowledge and protection and secondly that the US must have known for some time that OBL was living there (they would have only needed to ask their allies right ).

    One step further....two of the East Indian guys are Christians, one is Punjabi....the other old guy (we call him Gandhi's Dad) is from Africa and he's Muslim.

    Confused yet?

    Told ya

    Was Rush Limbaugh's Praise of President Obama All Sarcasm?
    By Sara Hammel - People Magazine


    President Barack Obama received bipartisan praise for his handling of the operation to kill Osama bin Laden – but was there one high-profile exception?

    Rush Limbaugh opened his radio show Monday with effusive – and highly uncharacteristic – praise, ending with, "Thank God for President Obama."

    But later in the show, Limbaugh broke into laughter while reading aloud a publication that appeared to take his earlier comments literally.

    actually...no.....you need to know some history of the British Empire...........back in victorian days they had this idea to build a railway from uganda to kenya and the indian ocean...plus lots of others in africa to set up a rail network.........cos they needed skilled labour to do it they 'imported' it from india where we had the railways running for a long time.......skilled labour and management were from india.....so of course theres lots of their descendants in africa today..........famously idi amin threw them all out of uganda back in the 70's when he was in charge......and the way i understood it, back in apartheid days in south africa the indian population made up a third 'class' besides black and white, and didnt qualify as either!!
