well, Pakistani newspaper makes sense, since Pakistan is the other party in this standoff, but why Indian papers?

CIA is pissed that they lost the war against ISI, so now the government is putting pressure on Pakistan.

'Full' would be an exaggeration. Indian papers, though, are reporting the issue as usual in the world affairs section.

India being a major victim of Pakistani backed terrorism, obviously gives a lot of importance to the US saying the same thing.

Besides, WoT, is a major issue in our part of the world, isn't it?

Pakistan is very much victim of Indian backed terrorism as well.

I can think of a few reasons..

1. Risk of Pakistan launching off its nukes in our direction if attacked by USA as promised by most Pakistani members on the forum
2. Talks about India teaming up with USA to attack Pakistan
3. USA pressurizing India to provide logistical support in this adventure...

Or May be, on a more serious note, Indian media is finding this report worthy that what India has been accusing PA and ISI of since decades, USA is finally coming around to that line of thinking as well

That's not the point.

The point was why was this issue being reported in Indian media with such fervor?

Resort to what? I have been, and will remain consistent in my honest and respectful expression of views, and also to respect others' views as well, no matter what they may be.

At 9:33 pm IST, the bolded part sends very double-meaning signals here.

I guess that's why he did not say 'Come On'.

I would say this, both India and Pakistan need to stop giving a damn about each other a little bit. Give each other a little breathing room and go about their buisness. Hostilties and negativity would go down a lot. I find it very annoying, too when Pak media covers everything little thing about India, it's like, for god's sakes, let them be.

Well India is ready to give a damn about Pakistan any given day provided Pakistan also gives a damn about a particular landmass in our control.

Talking of 'dams', India received a very positive signl from ICA/ICJ yesterday. If you didnot go by the reports in Pakistani media, you'd know what 'dam! (sic)', I mean.

Like I've said before, English is a wonderfully rich and nuanced language.

It does, for a change.

Pakistani national assembly has passed a resolution saying a majority of those killed in drone strikes are innocent civilians.

Popular Pakistani politician Imran Khan regularly claims that drones mostly kill civilians. He has even held a very successful dharna on the same issue.

Now either you are lying or the members of your national assembly and Imran Khan are lying.

Which one is it?

So what if the members of the NA & Imran Khan are lying? Officials lie all the time, just like Obama lied calling Raymond Davis a diplomat, or when Bush said there were WMDs in Iraq.
