It was Ayub who took that fateful decision -- despite SSG forays into Kashmir reported back that there is no on ground support for an uprising!!! He tasked A.O. Mitha for this mission and he was told that there no local ground swell!!!
Despite this, if Ayub went ahead with the flawed plan then he is to be blamed and not those who gave him lame advice. I'm no fan of Bhutto -- but he did not have crystal ball -- all the war planning and geo political game plan was based upon reading the situation. The buck stops at the top.
Ayub was not an imbecile!! He was in power for seven years when 65' happened. By then he had rubbed shoulders with the best and the brightest in the world of global politics, hoodwinked quite a few world leaders, Slapped Eisenhower (in jest), refused to bow in front of Queen Elizabeth..... he was no yearling!!!
