[CardSharp]

I'd rather believe our national security adviser than what some random blog has to say.

Now whose the sucker who believes his government without question?

Going to conjure up again, the two imaginary Indian reinforcement divisions that was going to crush China if China didn't retreat? That was your lie back then, was wondering if you're going break it out again.

The Chinese position has always been that any permanent border will only be peaceful and sustainable if it is established through negotiation, not force. This is why China withdraw after a crushing victory. Zhou Enlai right after the 62' war said that the door to a negotiated border will be always open to India, it's just that no Indian politician has had the balls to take up any serious negotiation for fear of being crucified by angry ignorant war-mongering mob at home.

A negotiated border will come when the Indian government releases Brook-Henderson-Bagat report and give an official history of the war that will debunk "China betrayed us" myth floated by post Nehru academics.

The bold part is merely an "official pretext" which Chinese politicians and the CPC gives as an example of magnanimity. Loads of experts refuse to buy that ....It was very much due to logistical reasons and the Chinese lines being overstretched . The Surprise attack succeeded because of lack of preparation by our troops for a battle ...They were outdone by superior numbers . Otherwise AP could never have been held for any length of time .

Why should any Indian politician bargain Indian sovereignty because of a military mistake by Nehru ? The land claims still puts us in the right , just that circumstances were very much favorable to the PLA.

And Hederson Brooks report analyses the military shortcomings ....all accounts of territorial claims on the ground were Neville Maxwell's willful fancies which some Chinese Fan boys seem to have whole -heartedly wrapped up . It doesn't bear rational scrutiny.

In Indian/World parlance --- pretending to accept a mutually peaceful agreement while secretly preparing for a surprise attack is very much a betrayal.
Much on the lines of Pearl Harbor in WW2. Only difference , our forces were never used effectively by Nehru with a penchant for peaceful negotiations .

Its so sad that these people can't even tell the truth and even after facing danger from other side they have to downplay the danger just because govt. doesnot wants one more headache.

Are you a warmonger ???

"Can't even tell the truth" ??? <---- are you suggesting that what the Indian Government said is not credible ?????

Then whatever the Indian Government said about Southern Tibet and Kashmir are lies because ST and IOC are both not Indian.

I needn't conjure up anything as you already accepted that it's not chinese benevolence which was the reason behind chinese retreat.

Yeah right I'm a sucker because I believe in the person who is responsible for India's security and making a statement to prime minister, rather than some random blog and two bit scientist with no access to classified data.

I meant This current Government . And I meant that its not trusted by us ,Indians to keep Indian interests safe . Don't divert.

The most widely accepted estimates of India's plutonium production have been made by David Albright. His most recent estimate (October 2000) was that by the end of 1999 India had available between 240 and 395 kg of weapon grade plutonium for weapons production, with a median value of 310 kg. He suggests that this is sufficient for 45 - 95 weapons (median estimate 65). The production of weapon grade plutonium has actually been greater, but about 130 kg of plutonium has been consumed - principally in fueling two plutonium reactors, but also in weapons tests. His estimate for India's holdings of less-than-weapons-grade plutonium (reactor or fuel grade plutonium) are 4200 kg of unsafeguarded plutonium (800 kg of this already separated) and 4100 kg of IAEA safeguarded plutonium (25 kg of this separated). This unsafeguarded quantity could be used to manufacture roughly 1000 nuclear weapons, if India so chose (which would give it the third largest arsenal in the world, behind only the U.S. and Russia).

Now imagine present day scenario where we don't have any restriction to import Uranium thus saving domestic stock only to deter the unwanted. ;-)

ITBP chief is just parroting what manmohan singh have taught, avoid confrontation and paint a rosy picture.
