34 US WARSHIPS INCLUDING A AIRCRAFT-CARRIER INSIDE INDIAN TEROTARIAL WATER!?

New Delhi: The White House will, of course, stay in Washington but the heart of the famous building will move to India when President Barack Obama lands in Mumbai on Saturday.

Communications set-up, nuclear button, a fleet of limousines and majority of the White House staff will be in India accompanying the President on this three-day visit that will cover Mumbai and Delhi.

He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. The measure has been taken as Mumbai attack in 2008 took place from the sea.

Arrangements have been put in place for emergency evacuation, if needed.

Obama is expected to fly by a helicopter -- Marine One -- from the city airport to the Indian Navy's helibase INS Shikra at Colaba in south Mumbai.

From there, he will drive down in Lincoln Continental -- the Presidential limousine -- to the nearby the Taj Hotel.

Two jets, armed with advanced communication and security systems, and a fleet of over 40 cars will be part of Obamas convoy.

Around 800 rooms have been booked for the President and his entourage in Taj Hotel and Hyatt.

The President will have a security ring of American elite Secret Service, which are tasked to guard the President, along with National Security Guards (NSG) and personnel from central paramilitary forces and local police in Mumbai and Delhi.

Similar arrangements will be in place in Delhi, with the Air Force One to be kept in all readiness throughout Obama's stay here from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday morning.

Maurya Hotel, where the President will stay, has already been swarmed by American security personnel and protective measures have been put in place.

Security drills are already been carried out at the hotel as well as Rajghat which he will visit.

Its a show of force in the name of terrorism..

Why US need a fleet of ships including a AC for the visit, And most astonishing inside INDIAN water where INDIA`S WESTERN FLEET is?

This show of force is not against CHINA, But have a different meaning..

I hope History don't repeat itself, We need to look out..

 

[LETHALFORCE]

What a waste of US taxpayer money

 

[LurkerBaba]

It's a conspiracy to invade India !!!

But seriously, an AC ?! (is it a Nitmitz class Supercarrier?)

The British East India Company gained a foothold in India through diplomacy with the Mughals.

Keep in mind, without diplomacy and face to face contact, the British would've never taken over India.

Obama is so concerned about outsourcing and the loss of jobs in US, that he is invading India at the tune of $200 million/day just to make sure US economy stands on its feet again. Why not give people Government benefits in this times of crisis, so that people can live for one more day and stand on their feet again.

Obama is not only one running US, Which explain this act and it cannot be ignored..

This is huge..

 

[IBRIS]

Will L-E-T or H-M try there luck with Obama.? Pakistan must be breathing in fear, If any of terrorists based in pakistan tries to play hide and seek. These 35 Ships are there just for that reason. I like how U.S actually squeezes first and asks ?'s last. Karachi targets are painted, just in case.

 

[LETHALFORCE]

He is trying to portray india as an unsafe place for foreign investment mow that India has passed USA in foreign investments same as the superbug story

 

[Oracle]

Was it not "Change we can believe in" and "Yes We Can" that Obama's campaign used as the the slogan during Presidential elections? What a loss of faith and a loss of face for the ordinary American citizen?

 

[StealthSniper]

Not a really warm welcome to India at all. In fact I think it's a slap in the face, considering the huge deals that are pending and this shows they have no trust in India's own security. They don't need 34 ships in Indian waters (if true) and I can't believe the GOI even allowed that in the first place.

 

[LETHALFORCE]

What direction is this strategic partnership going in? This is the worst president in US history and the elections proved it

US think big, The want the whole region secured..

Almost all the middleast under US, Iran pose a thread for now but future is uncertain for Iran, Pakistan & Afghanistan are already a US base, In Asia Singapore, SK, Japan are all pro US, India also want US support coz of Chinese aggression, But US showing off its FLEET which is powerful than Whole IN fleet!, Just for the visit....
These 35 Ships are not small size but modern destroyers and Big cruisers with a super-carrier..

Any defense related personal will react on such act..

 

[LETHALFORCE]

India may have to reconsider the once proposed Russia-China-India alliance

 

[ajtr]

Indeed it's insulting and very disappointing to see a guest in your house with their weapons right beside your doorsteps. But we have no one else to blame but ourselves here, Indian leaders have allowed this to happen. There could have been different arrangements arranged for this president like how they arrange Indian leaders arrival into US.

It is Indian leaders who are giving special treatment to americans and there demands. Americans are just following there protocol to safe guard there man overseas. Indian media should have had made huge deal out of instead of just printing an article. I know they capable enough to cook up a good story to malign the image of congress for letting this fleet come close to out waters.

Obama coming for a trip of official visit. Then why heck 34 warships?

There are two things. One is paranoia, the other is power-projection. The 'Emperor' must come with a retinue of courtiers and warriors, and Obama is doing exactly that.

Just like NATO fighters escorted the 2 Russian Tupolev-160s on its way to Venezuela, Indian warships could possibly escort the US Armada. On second thoughts though, why waste fuel on vain power-projections? Even in wartime in 1972, US 7th Fleet could do nothing, what will they do now in peace time?

This is more of a vanity fair going on, except that Obama and his warships are not quite as nonthreatening as the Pied Piper of Hamelin and his rats!

How many Indian warship needed to escort a powerful fleet of at-least 20 destroyer and 10 cruisers..
Total combine INDIAN NAVY got only 10 destroyer and 3 frigates..
Thats coz of Soviats not IN, Our IN yet to do lots of work on their destroyers to have a match..

This is more of a vanity fair going on, except that Obama and his warships are not quite as nonthreatening as the Pied Piper of Hamelin and his rats!

Yes 35 ship with a carrier indeed rats, They are giving as a clear message..
