True. But the events took turn while the Indian pilots were on their way home and were already in Indian airspace. Why would Mr Sikhand, after having left Pakistani airspace, turn his fighter around to 're-enter' Pakistani air space? 'One Gnat, however, was seen to be behaving...

Fair enough. It is indeed funny. And bizarre. But did Mr Sikhand make any comment to such effect? My memory is failing me. Mr Tufail seems to have left out that 'funny' detail of Mr Sikhand's claim. 'During interrogation Sikand claimed that [...] the airstrip that he saw was a godsend..'...

Possible. But circumstances as narrated by Mr Tufail indicate genuine disorientation, for reasons known only to him. Why else would he break a fight only to fly straight into enemy air space? Further was he even aware of the fact that he was in fact being chased by F-104? Again, Mr Tufail's...

That may be so. It still wouldn't count as surrender or forced landing, in absence of an enforcer. Sure.

Just for the record. Aeronaut: “Run … it’s a 104” When Flt Lt Hakimullah first noticed the Gnat, it was already on the ground, which pretty much rules out any possibility of surrender or forced landing.

They were born alright, but never acknowledged due to social stigma. Not to mention, thousands of abortions using crude country methods. Because bodies were dumped into the river to be carried into open sea. If you so desire I can post a newspaper clipping describing a nice little death camp...

Every other time my niece complains of a pink, invisible, flying hippopotamus living under her bed. It must be true after all.

Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood Mahmood has published papers concerning djinni, which are described in the Qur'an as beings made of fire. He has proposed that djinni could be tapped to solve the energy crisis. I think that if we develop our souls, we can develop communication with them, Mr...

Yes. Its the history of the peoples living in a geo-political setup, currently called Pakistan, which had come into existence some 60 odd years ago. Incidentally - this you won't like - they were known as 'Indians' (in cultural sense, not necessarily in political sense). No historian, who is...

I just threw up in my mouth.

....and I'm beginning to turn pink....

Legal existence of India didn't end with the change of the legal nature of its existence. From being a colony, under British rule, India simply became an independent State under sovereign rule, with altered boundaries - a case of continuous legal existence. If Zafarulla Khan, probably the...

All this disorientation from a single can of Joe's Whoop@ss? :no:

hehehe....nice

Agreed. But I was responding to our friend's claim 'that no one' blah blah... Nah. Nothing happened in 2002. During that time a bunch guys from UP and Bihar, incidentally BJP supporters, started giving fiery speeches near the mosque. Seniors of our locality, including my father, snatched their...

BS. We got our local mosque to stop blaring it's loudspeakers so early in the morning, by means of a mass petition to the local MLA, citing a Clacutta High Court order. We also stood guard for that mosque during 2002. Then we stopped a nearby Vishnu temple from blaring its loudspeakers...

So all Hindus are homogeneous. From Northern tip of India to Southern, from Eastern tip to the Western. Why does this remind me of AIML's claim in the 40s how all Muslims are homogeneous. Do you realize, that by simply selecting to worship a different deity, you change everything, right from...

Oh no, they are Hindus all right. But you probably have no idea how differently they practice 'their' Hinduism or how such difference can be as subtle as a nuclear blast. And that is the exact point that Joe is making - that there is no universality of the so called 'culture' that you are peddling.

Errr..... Doesn't that mean that they passed on the information as part of routine work without knowing the true value of that information? Isn't it adorable how the OP just conveniently forgot to highlight the most important part. Or the part where US official rejects their tall claim.

That is the nationalist in you that is doing the talking. The consensus among observers are however different. Despite considerable assistance from the PRC, Pakistan's indigenous ballistic missile program headed by Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and centered at the Khan (Kahuta) Research...
