Those 'boys' came in an armoured vehicle. How is it possible to 'own' an armoured vehicle by non fauzis?

hamidm2...
nice to see you back entertaining people here....
your proposition do have some sort feasibility. only some glitches here and there....
unlike pakistan, the jihadis will not be supported by armed forces and police. that creates hell lot of difference...people like abdul nasher madani, a r antuley etc.. do try to create trouble/wage jihad. But somehow, administration tackles them. The way jiahdis in Kashmir are handled, jihadis can be handled in much better way in non-border areas. Indian armed forces have outrightly rejected Sachar commmission and so, jihidis infiltrating into indian armed forces is not possible in near future. So, dream of successful jiahd within indian territory may not be that easy like Pakistan.....

Re: # 141 "The country is collapsing at the seems and he talks about "strategic interests". Mian jee, get real and get an education, will you ask the 'homeless person' who is scrambling through garbage cans to eat to look after his 'strategic interests'?"

#137 "i think pakistan should focus on starting a full fledged rebellion by indian moslems led by deobandis ...... think of all the trouble a hundred and fifty million jihadis can cause!"

That is what you have cherished, thought and done over the last 60 years. But why dont you get it straight that the Muslims in India realise where they are better off. Otherwise you would have seen mass migrations from India to Pakistan. There are enough number of Kalams, Azharuddins, Shah-rukhs, AR-Rahmans etc. who are Indian at heart and would never fall to this Pakistan bait.

Pakistan should concentrate its energies in its nation building rather than destroying India. Negative thoughts and actions (e.g. Bombay attack) will have lesser impact on India, but they will have a devastating impact (e.g. Sri-Lanka playerr attack) on Pakistan.

Re: # 150

Mishraji, Pakistani people are basically a captive people and it is unfair to blame the laymans (and the nation) for the crimes of the elite!

Attack on the police academy ! No muslim could have done such a thing ! What about the hindutva terrorists? - remember Bal Thakre had threatened to do this.

Who gains from this? Only US, India and Israel. This is probably a CIA-RAW-MOSSAD collaboration, definitely several foreign hands are involved. Army is ready to attack india and capture red fort, its time to end 61 years of waiting...

So goes life in bevakoofistan, a people so immersed in their delusions that they are unable to understand who is killing them...

Any one who wants to understand Obama's new regional strategy, please take a look at my blog post on this subject at http://www.riazhaq.com/2009/03/obamas-afghan-exit-strategy.html . There are plenty of links to ref material. Don't be misguided by the people who don't have clue about what's in it. Read for yourself and make up your own mind.

Re: # 146

Re: # 146 divide and rule and bribe their way out

.The British were the most keen on discreet contacts. The doctrine was simple: “Divide your enemy. Engage with those who can be reconciled. Kill or capture those who cannot.�

In their view, the “enemy� were not all hardened ideologues but included ordinary tribal Afghans who, if they might not accept the presence of foreign troops, might ultimately come to accept the Afghan government.

haha ... someone read about the attack on police academy...
The only thing that saddens me is the fact that pakistans' demise is by its own hand .... India has not really done anything to bring it about...

Khair ... kal maje ka din hai .... :)

Deal with Egypt and Jordan is what it took to split Arab fighting machine. Maintaining this costs some billion dollars a year. This arrangement is workable and does not unhinge Israel either, and terror beyond Palestinian borders is limited to few rockets lobbed across the border, otherwise it is inside Gaza and West Bank, even Lebanon is quiet. This is manageable chaos. There will be a Palestinian state, and sooner, if Israel increases its intensity of response. This changes world opinion.

Why would the U.S. and NATO not do the similar in AfPak Theater?

There is a ransom (Urstruly’s words) that will be acceptable and allow for an exit and ensure chaotic buffer. Here is one Talibani ready to strike a deal, when the money has not reached there. I think money will be manageable and create competition among Talibanis. Al Qaeda is probably another story, and hence the rhetoric. America seems to cut its losses in the battle fields, to win them in economic front. If you do not believe me, then try to guess whose dollars are paying Urstruly’s ransom in Egypt and Jordan. The world is not as sick or dark as dear Masadi ji would want. God guys still win.

The best statement exposing western elites hollowness. It made me laugh exceedingly.
