It should bring hope to Lions fans everywhere

Maybe that stuff about 2012 is true, after all.They have an aging quarterback, Kurt Warner, who’s trying to recover from a concussion. But they also have a young, gun slinging lefty named Matt Leinart who’s stepped in and the Cardinals haven’t really missed a beat with the USC grad at the helm.Leinart is young, good-looking, and from California. The have a running back named Beanie Wells, and I’m back to the Cleaver thing.“Mom, can Larry and Beanie come over for dinner”The offensive line actually blocks The defense is capable. The Cardinals are, you know, a real football team.It should bring hope to Lions fans everywhere.

If the Cardinals can do it, then…Of course, Lyle Lovett didget Julia Roberts, albeit briefly.The Cardinals are winners Two years in a row The clock broke at 11:59 Ice crystals are forming in Hades. Comcast must be done buying things.In such a parallel universe, you’d think the Lions could even be successful.Instead, we get Jason Hanson missing field goals.Maybe the Lions can find a player named Lumpy.. By Simon Denyer NEW DELHI, Jan 6 (Reuters) - India may be frustrated and even outwitted by Pakistan over the Mumbai attacks, after placing its faith in diplomacy and the support of the United States. It could be disappointed, but is unlikely to vent its frustration through military action, analysts and diplomats say. "Pakistan has been able to obfuscate the issue, which is testimony to its chutzpah," said Indian security analyst Uday Bhaskar. "It is also a reflection of the degree to which the major powers are complicit in allowing the Pakistani establishment to engage in this kind of double-speak. "India will have to temper its own expectation of what the international community can deliver." On Monday, India handed evidence to Pakistan and other countries which it said showed Pakistani militants carried out the November attack on Mumbai, and Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram will take the dossier to Washington this week.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh kept up pressure on Tuesday, saying the attack must have had support from "official agencies" in Pakistan and accusing Islamabad of "whipping up war hysteria". nISL332084 But with Obama and the West depending on Pakistani support for a planned troop surge in Afghanistan, there are limits to how far the world will twist Islamabad's arm. Its people have largely united against India, and its army suddenly seems indispensable again. But there are critical voices Pakistan's main human rights group accused its government on Saturday of being in a "state of denial". INDIAN DEMANDS UNLIKELY TO BE MET India has demanded Pakistan pursue investigations to their conclusion and hand over the organisers to Indian justice. It is a demand South Asian regional agreements back that terrorist acts should be prosecuted in the nation where they occur but not one many analysts or diplomats expect to be met.

"Handing over Pakistani nationals to Indian custody, I don't think the Pakistani government can survive that humiliating demand," said Rasul Bakhsh Rais, a professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. The group was set up with the support of Pakistani military intelligence, the ISI, to fight Indian rule in Kashmir, and many Western analysts say it retains some kind of official support. Indeed the Indian media say there is evidence senior or former members of the ISI acted as "minders" for the attacks. Islamabad would never allow this kind of dirty laundry to be aired in public, nor allow action against former ISI figures. "If we say we have evidence of (official) handlers and minders, then naturally we would expect action against these guys," said Siddharth Varadarajan, strategic affairs editor of the Hindu newspaper "These are all areas of potential controversy. I don't see plain sailing right now." LIMITS TO OBAMA'S SUPPORT There are also limits to how far Obama will push the Pakistani military.
