him and Mr. Kissinger sure as hell didnt have much flattering words for the whacked witch --that's for sure!

He had more than flattery words for her from what i heard on the tapes

But in the end she managed to outwit one of most pragmatic diplomats ever know ,Kissinger.

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

Nixon was a foul mouthed idiot.

There is one old Chinese saying :"the bad one is the first to cry when he realized the others are just as bad as him."

He was 2-faced chap , First promising us Indians that he'd make sure the Chinese don't attack. later during the war , he was encouraging to intervene.

When he realized Indira had hoodwinked him , what else could he do?

Nixon's dislike of 'witch' Indira

Ex-US President Richard Nixon called Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi an "old witch", according to recently released documents from the 1970s.
His national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, said "the Indians are bastards anyway" in the run-up to the India-Pakistan war of 1971.

At the time, the US saw India as too close to the then Soviet Union.

The US state department has declassified many documents this month on US foreign policy of the time.

One key conversation transcript comes from the meeting between President Nixon and Mr Kissinger in the White House on 5 November 1971, shortly after a meeting with the visiting Indira Gandhi.

"We really slobbered over the old witch," says President Nixon.

"The Indians are bastards anyway," says Mr Kissinger. "They are starting a war there."

He adds: "While she was a *****, we got what we wanted too. She will not be able to go home and say that the United States didn't give her a warm reception and therefore in despair she's got to go to war."

'Special relationship'

The Indo-Pakistan war took place between November and December 1971.

It had its roots in demands in 1970 by East Pakistan, later Bangladesh, for independence.

In March 1971, Pakistan's military acted to put down the secessionists there. Millions fled to India's West Bengal state.

India supported an independent Bangladesh and ties with the US plummeted in August 1971 when Delhi signed a treaty with the Soviet Union that included mutual military assistance in case of war.

President Nixon, on the other hand, had developed a "special relationship" with Pakistan's then military dictator, General Yahya Khan.

In a White House conversation with Mr Kissinger on 4 June 1971, President Nixon berates his ambassador to India, Kenneth Keating, for wanting to, as Mr Kissinger puts it, "help India push the Pakistanis out".

President Nixon says: "I don't want him to come in with that kind of jackass thing with me... Keating, like every ambassador who goes over there, goes over there and gets sucked in."

Mr Kissinger then says: "Those sons-of-bitches, who never have lifted a finger for us, why should we get involved in the morass of East Pakistan?

"If East Pakistan becomes independent, it is going to become a cesspool. It's going to be 100 million people, they have the lowest standard of living in Asia."

President Nixon replies: "Yeah."

Mr Kissinger: "They're going to become a ripe field for communist infiltration."

President Nixon then openly courted China to try to turn the tide of the war Pakistan's way.

With the Indian army and armed Bengali separatists winning, the US on 10 December 1971 urged Beijing to mobilise troops towards India, saying the US would back it if the Soviet Union became involved.

China declined and on 16 December the war ended with the Indian army and Bengali separatists taking Dhaka.

Exiled leaders had declared Bangladesh independent on 26 March 1971 and, in 1972, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman returned to become the country's first prime minister.

Anyways...that was highly offensive, when Kissinger referred to Indians as bastards...i wonder why my friend Solomon didn't post this link in this thread

Gotta love Indra Gandhi, she really pissed Nixon off.

 

[American Pakistani]

What did Clinton do that was so great from Pakistan's perspective?

He left Hillarious Client-on, so all Pakistanis can enjoy her live jokes. For instance she gave her hillarious type statement few days ago.

"The Pakistanis are straightforward and sometimes extremely stupid. The Indians are more devious, sometimes so smart that we fall for their line "

there is another word for that......cunning and being sagacious........this is why nixon is disliked...he thought only america must be intelligent and others must be fools...whenever some one was not and stood upto him...he/she was branded devious.......

 

[Dalai Lama]

Has anyone seen 'Frost Nixon'? Neither him or Kissinger are portrayed as the saints that Pakistanis assert them to be.

Nixon is a real funny man!

No wonder he was called 'Tricky Dic,k'!

 

[pmukherjee]

This is nothing but posthumous gloating or posthumous justification of a blatantly wrong action. That too from a US President who nearly got impeached for sheer dishonesty. Does he justify the genocide perpetrated by Pakistan in erstwhile East Pakistan? For his information (not that it will do him any good now), India did not rape Pakistan. Pakistan did it to itself.
BTW, why did he not follow through with his noble intentions? Did a couple a Soviet nuclear subs tailing the USS Enterprise deter him and force him to recall the TF-74?

sir clinton allowed Srebrenica in the first place.....intervention was just face saving....real damage was done to serbs by the mujahideen from the entire globe and i read somewhere Pakistan para dropped armoured personal carriers into bosnia and herzegovina former ugouslavia..

I too keep reading that RAW is creating havoc around the world in so many countries but nothing ever is known in India. These things are very very subjective and cannot be proven just like that. Your involvement in that war would have been noticed and Russia would have created havoc for you even in its weak stages (Russians were Serbian allies).

the only solution to kashmir cause is an intervention by mujahideen from all over the world...united nations wont enforce its resolutions and slumdog india wont give it in a peaceful way..and as Quiad e Azam said its the juggular vein there is no point we will ever leave it!

Do you not think if that was possible, it could have been tried early? Had Yugoslavia not been meddled by US, things would have been very different. You're simply making the wrong comparison here. It will be a fire fest if that were to ever happen.

Yeah and they'd all be packed and given a one way ticket to hell by our forces with full fury of tanks, APCs, gunships, jets, artillery, heavy machine guns and torrential rains of explosive rockets. In the end, whatever will be left of these mujahideen will be sent packing in match boxes like how Russians dealt with terrorists in their Caucasus. . So unless you really hate these mujahideen so much, don't send them to their doom. We are battle-hardened enough to pack these wannabes for the 7th pits of hell.

Nixon and clinton both were related with famous scandal........

 

[IndoCarib]

^^^^^
Nixon was involved in the Watergate scandal, for which he had to resign. The movie Frost/Nixon was all about how BBC host David Frost gets Nixon to confess about the scandal. The Monica Lewisky scandal on the other hand was entirely different !
