And azad Kashmir is part of Pakistan right??? And according to Indians it is indian territory. So where is your bravado now to liberate this so called Indian territory buddy. Too hard for you kids to understand???
Wow, 40 pages added between Delhi & Frankfurt. Quite fast moving thread. But clearly, looking at the discussion, Pakistanis intermittently need to top up the honor after such incidents by reciting duly the history that the army has tirelessly worked to teach them. An example will be this haggling which proves that pakistan army is the bravest army in the world even when they lost half of the country (more actually if one looks at the population - but that never mattered anyway. Did they? The bengali people?), messed up pakistan by increasing and fostering Extremism in the country. Bravely planning to defeat and cut hazaar times the enemies by using (no, not the soldiers) terrorist groups as an arm of their foreign policy. Achieving great victory and raising national honor in siachen and kargill. OBL and Mehraan were more nishaans of haider. And now when a few soldiers got delivered via NATO, the nutcases for Pakistani army here are busy trying to prove what losers are the Indian fellows! There has been no let up in blaming the civilian government even with the knowledge that the real don of pakistan is the army and the civilians are merely puppets (some glorified such as imran khan, others not so glorified such as now nawaz, all subject to the dynamic favoritism of the pakistani army).
There have been suggestions that NATO should be bombed and pakistani army should once again should become brave by telling siraj haqqani and co. to put some turban bombs out there in afghanistan. In fact it seems that if some members are trying to get niahan-e-haider tonight by murdering their keyboards!
There is (no surprises there) no rralization that US and NATO have in the past pointed out that pakistani army soldiers let taliban operate against afghanistan in plain sight distance. US also warned that it will not accept casualities in the process of allowing the pakistani dreams of strategic depth in afghanistan (deeper than ocean/ strategic depth - what is the fascination with depth here
) and will take counter measures. Evidently US found the terrorist coordinates very close to the pakistani post and now we have these 70 odd pages of the marshal kaum self confidence boosting. What is not yet being understood is that there has been now a clear message that this love bedding with taliban is not being tolerated and there wll be action. If someone is thinking that such a cross border intrusion would not have been cleared with senior military and civilian authorities then you can continue to believe in the great indian rope trick. Now US will surely make all the right noises but please remember that the pakistani reaction has been factored in and the relationship bounce is already measured after the last shutoff of goods movement by pakistan. And if pakistanis here and per their policy too can excel in doublespeak in the guise of their national interest then why cannot the US and NATO?
Now try to focus for a moment on the dead soldiers and why did what happen , happen. And what is next. This marde-momin stuff can wait a little bit I guess.
If the message is not clearly understood then the pakistani generals will be putting more such soldiers in harms way. These slain men would have signed up for a salary doing the job of protecting pakistan and not for being spent in this perverted thinking of the generals by using the soldiers as shields for the real assets = the haqqani boys.
