Operation Northwoods

Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a false-flag plan, proposed within the United States government in 1962. The plan called for CIA or other operatives to commit apparent acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Castro-led Cuba. One plan was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington".

This operation is especially notable in that it included plans for hijackings and bombings followed by the use of phony evidence that would blame the terrorist acts on a foreign government, namely Cuba.

The plan stated:
The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.

President John F. Kennedy personally rejected the Northwoods proposal and it was never executed. Obviously they would never have made it public if it was carried out. Read more

An acute, large scale war with clearly defined enemies and an end result is better than dying chronically.

Me versus Jews/Pro-Jews

If you ever read the comments below some controversial/religious videos on YouTube, you must have noted that sometimes they get really filthy, calling bad names to each others' religion and gods. This may seem stupid but there was this holocaust video on YouTube and I posted a harsh comment and there started a battle. The repliers were definitely pro Jewish if not Jews. This is how it went:

Me: This is what should happen to Jews again. They deserve it.

Jew 1: You even don't know what you speak, you have no idea how evil you are! You believe or not but GOD'S BREATH is in you, too. Be happy that you live!!!

Me: Evil? Evil are those who force people out of their houses saying that this is their land. Evil are those who kill innocent people. Evil are those who demolish innocent people's houses. Evil are those who killed more than 1000 unarmed people this year in January (not to mention those killed in previous years) using phosphorus bombs violating all international laws. (Oh and by the way phosphorus burns human flesh) There are thousands of videos here on YouTube . I can post here so many links.

Jew 2: Please buy some brains

Me: Lol. That's all you could come up with? May be you need to buy some brains. And please buy an extra occipital lobe so that you can see whats really going on in Gaza.

Jew 2: uuuuuuuuhm yes those are the only words i know

Jew 3: Are you comparing Gazy to the Holocaust? Do us all a favour and have a brain check in Pakistan (LOL)...

Me: Are you saying that Holocaust jusitfies Gaza massacre? Can I kill your family because somebody else killed mine? And that somebody has no link with you whatsoever.

Jew 3: No, but this video is not about the Gaza strip. You might want to join the Neo Nazi movement instead posting your hatred here.

Me: O come on dude. Gaza came up as a part of discussion. You know that. It's just that it was the only answer that came in your mind. Well I could say that this video is not about a Neo Nazi movement. They didn't teach you in school how to engage in a healthy discussion? And where is hatred? That was mere truth/criticism that you call that you Jews/ pro Jews can't bear and label it as hatred/antisemitism like this israeli minister telling here:
It's time you opened your eyes.

Jew 3: Are you from Paki Stan? Oh ok, that surely explains your ignorance... my bad...

Me: And you are from England which explains your stupidity and such a 'rational' and 'logical' answer! Thank you.

Jew 1: And again I say to ainwee and to the others who think all these evil things that we all have GOD'S BREATH in us, respect each other and be happy that you live! You even don't understand what you speak and how evil you are!

Me: History shows that where ever Jews went they were beaten and forced out from that area. Because that was the only way to achieve peace. If Jews really believe that they are the 'chosen ones' then they should wish to die. Because they love God and God loves them right? They should long to meet God. But they don't, they want this world, they want 'land'. They wouldn't pound on someone's land and say it is ours if they had a belief in God. And God certainly doesnt want them to kill thousands of people.

Jew 4: i see you're from Pakistan......well,can you please tell me how Pakistan came to existence??? and i'm sure it's not the jews killing innocent people but your kamikaze cousins!and for the argument of them wanting land.....how about kashmeer????It seems to me that the accuser is guilty of what he's accusing!BTW should they wish to die because they love God?the only ones who reason that way are people like you!!!waiting to see virgins and fast horses in the other side!

Me: Oh, a very good question. We have to go in history. Muslims had been living in Indian subcontinent for over a thousand years. The Mughals (Muslims) ruled India for about 400 years very PEACEFULLY. The Hindus were OK with it; there was never any resistance movement. Then the Brits decided to destroy the world and in the process they conquered India. Now there are four castes in Hindu religion, the lowest being the Shudars. The upper classes of Hindus consider Shudars unclean and don’t like to talk to them and touch them. Muslims were considered by Hindus even lower than the Shudars. This and so many other differences in the religion (e.g. Muslims eat cow while cow is a god for Hindus; they obviously couldn’t see their god being slaughtered and eaten) led Muslims to demand the DIVISION OF A COUNTRY IN WHICH THEY WERE ALREADY LIVING FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. Hindus went to one side while Muslims went on the other side of the border.

Jews on the other hand say that the land of Palestine is promised to them by God. Their movement took acceleration after world wars when Jews from all over the world specially Europe started settling in Palestine. After the United Nations Partition Plan more Jews started pouring in and they forcefully made the people evacuate the houses already living there. The resistance by Palestinians and Arabs was obvious. You don’t pound on someone’s house and say that it’s mine because god said so. You live in Italy right? If I start sending people from Pakistan to Italy today and say that Italy is ours because our scriptures say so, what would you do? You would kill us.

You say the Jews aren’t killing the people there? How about this:

and this:


Are you sleeping or what? I can paste here thousands of more videos. And by the way those kamikazes are not my cousins, they are my BROTHERS. That’s the only way they’ve got kill some 13 Jews in response to 1000 of their own killed (source) An atomic power and possessor of phosphorus bombs, laser guided missiles, tanks, radars and fighter jets versus suicide bombers and children throwing stones at the tanks. What a match!

And Kashmir, again you don’t send your 0.7 million army to an area and start killing people and say it is ours while the people of that area want to live independently. These examples of Kashmir and Pakistan you gave are completely out of place. Israeli case is very different from these.

And yes that is very very logical. If they loved God they wouldn’t kill innocent people. If they loved God, they wouldn’t want a piece of land. They would rather long to meet God and worry about the life hereafter! You ever loved someone? I’m sure you like to live with your loved ones, not away from them and blackmail other people in their name.

Jew 4: so what you're saying is the hindus started hateing the muslims after the brits ruined the world?it really doesn't sound coherent....and anyway........kashmeer?....... .and why do muslims bomb countries in order to form an islamic state???

Me: Dear dear, I'll have to teach you whole history over here in this little space. Muslims ruled India for hundereds of years and there was peace most of the time. When the British decided to leave a battle for dominance started between Hindus and Muslims. Muslims didn't want Hindu rule because they feared that they will be subjugated and maltreated as they were already being in Hindu majority states even in British rule. The reason was British were on Hindus side. The evidence of which is that many areas which were to be added in Pakistan were given to India on the very night of partition and independance.That could only occur through personal relations of Hindus with British.

OK,so which Islamic state was formed after Muslims 'bombed' that area?Is it wrong to act against the 0.7 million Indian army deployed in Kashmir to forcefuly occupy the land?Why don't you ask the Indians and Jews about their forceful occupation of land and killing of inocent people?

Jew 4: you said muslims ruled India for a long time even though they were a minority.......now,do you know what year it is according to the jewish calendar?and where do you think they were for centuries before muslims even existed????in New York????and anyway nobody's saying the war on Gaza was because of the holocaust other than you

Me: OK, so you say that Jews existed in that land before Muslims which is like thousands of years before? So, according to your argument Christians and Muslims should have no place on earth because both are newer religions. Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years. They don't say that Spain is ours.

There have been wars and conquests throughout history. So to know that to whom does a particular land belongs, should we go back in history and see who conquered that land first of all? That's not the way things go. The point is forceful occupation and killing of innocent people which if anyone (whether they be Jews, Christians or Muslims) does should be comdemned and stopped by force.

I don't know if there's any limit of comments on YouTube but I could'nt post any more comments. Anyways aina di aisi di taisi :-p

'Taliban' exposed

Major General Athar Abbas, spokesman military and DG ISPR has said that Taliban are using weapons of NATO and that foreign agencies are training and supplying weapons to them. (Source)

Now those taliban phobic 'enlightened moderates' would still not raise their voices against these foreign hands. They will still fail to see that the same people are helping taliban who are asking Pakistan army to fight against them. They will still not realize that it's the people behind taliban who are a threat to Pakistan's nuclear assets. They still won't understand that fighting taliban wouldn't do any good unless you fight with people sending taliban.

If you want to get to rid of a tree, you don't waste time and money cutting the branches; you cut the roots. Branches sprout again.

Tit for tat

An Indian Colonel, one Harish Puri's letter to General Kiyani was painful and infuriating. The reply by a Pakistani was analgesic and euphoric. Here I post both the letters. They are really interesting. Note the similarity of words in both, specially in the beginning.

An open letter to General Kiyani

Dear Gen Kayani,
Sir, let me begin by recounting that old army quip that did the rounds in the immediate aftermath of World war II: To guarantee victory, an army should ideally have German generals, British officers, Indian soldiers, American equipment and Italian enemies.

A Pakistani soldier that I met in Iraq in 2004 lamented the fact that the Pakistani soldier in Kargil had been badly let down firstly by Nawaz Sharif and then by the Pakistani officers' cadre. Pakistani soldiers led by Indian officers, , he believed, would be the most fearsome combination possible. Pakistani officers, he went on to say, were more into real estate, defence housing colonies and the like.

As I look at two photographs of surrender that lie before me, I can't help recalling his words. The first is the celebrated event at Dhaka on Dec 16, 1971, which now adorns most Army messes in Delhi and Calcutta. The second, sir, is the video of a teenage girl being flogged by the Taliban in Swat -- not far, I am sure, from one of your Army check posts.

The surrender by any Army is always a sad and humiliating event. Gen Niazi surrendered in Dhaka to a professional army that had outnumbered and outfought him. No Pakistani has been able to get over that humiliation, and 16th December is remembered as a black day by the Pakistani Army and the Pakistani state. But battles are won and lost – armies know this, and having learnt their lessons, they move on.

But much more sadly, the video of the teenager being flogged represents an even more abject surrender by the Pakistani Army. The surrender in 1971, though humiliating, was not disgraceful. This time around, sir, what happened on your watch was something no Army commander should have to live through. The girl could have been your own daughter, or mine.

I have always maintained that the Pakistani Army, like its Indian counterpart, is a thoroughly professional outfit. It has fought valiantly in the three wars against India, and also accredited itself well in its UN missions abroad. It is, therefore, by no means a pushover. The instance of an Infantry unit, led by a lieutenant colonel, meekly laying down arms before 20-odd militants should have been an aberration. But this capitulation in Swat, that too so soon after your own visit to the area, is an assault on the sensibilities of any soldier. What did you tell your soldiers? What great inspirational speech did you make that made your troops back off without a murmur? Sir, I have fought insurgency in Kashmir as well as the North-East, but despite the occasional losses suffered (as is bound to be the case in counter-insurgency operations), such total surrender is unthinkable.

I have been a signaller, and it beats me how my counterparts in your Signal Corps could not locate or even jam a normal FM radio station broadcasting on a fixed frequency at fixed timings. Is there more than meets the eye?

I am told that it is difficult for your troops to "fight their own people." But you never had that problem in East Pakistan in 1971, where the atrocities committed by your own troops are well documented in the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report. Or is it that the Bengalis were never considered "your own" people, influenced as they were by the Hindus across the border? Or is that your troops are terrified by the ruthless barbarians of the Taliban?

Sir, it is imperative that we recognise our enemy without any delay. I use the word "our" advisedly – for the Taliban threat is not far from India's borders. And the only force that can stop them from dragging Pakistan back into the Stone Age is the force that you command. In this historic moment, providence has placed a tremendous responsibility in your hands. Indeed, the fate of your nation, the future of humankind in the subcontinent rests with you. It doesn't matter if it is "my war" or "your war" – it is a war that has to be won. A desperate Swati citizen's desperate lament says it all – "Please drop an atom bomb on us and put us out of our misery!" Do not fail him, sir.

But in the gloom and the ignominy, the average Pakistani citizen has shown us that there is hope yet. The lawyers, the media, have all refused to buckle even under direct threats. It took the Taliban no less than 32 bullets to still the voice of a brave journalist. Yes, there is hope – but why don't we hear the same language from you? Look to these brave hearts, sir – and maybe we shall see the tide turn. Our prayers are with you, and the hapless people of Swat.

The New York Times predicts that Pakistan will collapse in six months. Do you want to go down in history as the man who allowed that to happen?

The response by a Pakistani.

Dear Mr. Puri,

Sir, let me begin by reminding you of the quip that made rounds all over Asia, right after the 1965 Indo-Pak war: To guarantee defeat, an army should ideally have Indian Generals, Indian Officers, Indian Soldiers, Israeli Equipment and Pakistani enemies.

An Indian Air Marshal that I personally met, told me that in the 1965 war, one Pakistani pilot, brought down 6 Indian AirForce Jets, in less than 60 seconds. Israeli Air Force pilots under Indian command, he said, would be the most hilarious combination possible. Indian Officers he argued, were more into Bollywood Actresses, Killing innocent people in Kashmir and getting their asses kicked in Mumbai by a bunch of amateurs.

As I look at the moments of numerous defeats that Indian Forces face every day in Kashmir, against a bunch of Mujahideen, with an ultra-equipped army of 700,000 troops, I can’t resist recalling his words. The second is the moment when the world witnessed in the war of 1965, the graveyard of 100, 200 no 600 Indian tanks not far from your border.

The surrender of any army is no doubt a sad and humiliating event. And to think of the signing of the Tashkent (ceasefire) agreement to end the 1965 war, after which your Prime Minister Shastri died of heart attack, entertains me with rolls of laughter. The fact that India was once again planning to attack Pakistan in 1986 (during the reign of Gen Zia-ul-Haq) under the wise leadership of Rajiv Gandhi; Rajiv Gandhi, the then PM of India, during his conference with the Indian Generals and top brass of India (to finalise the details of the attack) receives a call from Gen. Zia ul Haq where he reminds Rajiv Gandhi that he also has the copy of the file of plans lying on his (Rajiv Gandhi’s) table for discussion, and then Gen Zia flies all the way to Jaipur (and meets the Indian PM during a cricket match) to return that copy, as a courtesy to the Indian PM to remind him that we might’ve been sleeping, but we’re NOT Dead! – sometimes makes a cunning smile cross my face. That some wars are lost even before they’ve started, is not only shamefully mortifying, but a serious blow to the entire establishment; and is simply a lesson that is taught only once.

I always thought that the Indian Army was far superior to the Pakistan Army, in terms of their Artillery, Infantry, Fighter Fleet and weaponry systems (being provided to them exclusively by Israel), however, President Jiang Zheming reminded us recently in 2002, when India was once again planning to attack Pakistan – that he had never known soldiers more pusillanimous (meaning cowardly) than those that represented the Indian Army. He was of course referring to the fleeing incident of the 1962 Indo-China conflict, where Indian soldiers fled the battleground, and in their haste to “run away”, forgot their weapons, which China later returned to India (it is also said that Chinese army cleaned, polished and removed the rust of the arms being used by Indian Army before returning them). Such total surrender, disgrace, and fleeing the battleground, by men who call themselves “soldiers”, is astonishingly humiliating yet funny.

I have been an analyst, and it beats me how my counterparts in India have been unable to understand the Asamese Freedom fighters, the Kashmir Freedom Fighters, The Naxalites etc. etc. (the list may fill up a page), in over 60 years, and keep on blaming Pakistan for all their woes. Moreover, how the Hindu Extremist parties like the RSS have opened up training camps in densely populated urban areas, training Hindu extremists to burn people alive, and to bring down landmarks as significant as the Babri Masjid, without raising any eyebrows in the Government. Is there more than meets the eye?

We are told that it is tough for your army to counter “your own people”, like the extremists of Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Pareshad and RSS. Whether it be burning of thousands of Muslims alive in Gujrat, or be it the genocide of Christian minorities in Orissa, your security forces simply stand and watch the mass murder of innocent unarmed people.

Mr. Puri, it is imperative that without any further delay, we recognize our enemy. I use the word “our” advisedly because the threat of BJP (which is fully backed by the types of Narindra Modi and parties like RSS, VP and BD) coming into power in the upcoming elections – and putting our borders under serious jeopardy, is quite imminent. Additionally, your army consists of several serving officers like Col. Purohit, who exhibit hostility and hatred towards Pakistanis by bombing innocent civilians in trains (Samjhauta Express). What is more, the BJP did not mind mass murdering people in Mumbai during November last year, simply to prove its point that the Congress Govt. was a major failure, and during the upcoming elections, BJP must win. And framing the “Pakistani terrorists” was the easiest part, because a similar hostile viewpoint is maintained by a vast majority of Hindu population in India.

You remind me of one Pakistani journalist being killed by the so called Taliban Pakistan? Well, ever heard of the Journalists who were “MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD” by Israelis, not by shooting them down with bullets, but by running tanks over them. God knows how many such journalists have been run-over, murdered by Indian Extremist parties in the name of nationalistic planned killings. But believe me, there still are some sane voices in India like Arundhati Roy and Amresh Misra, and it is about time you started thinking rationally and instead of suppressing their voices, gave them some room to express their thoughts, so that BJP does not hi-jack India once again.

Ok, anecdotes aside, on a serious note:

What would you say if we asked you what took the “Indian Commandos”, the Indian NSG and the Israeli Commandos, 60 long hours to control only 10 terrorists who had hijacked Mumbai in less than 60 minutes? You were trying to save as many hostages you say eh? To avoid casualties to the max, isn’t it? Why didn’t the Indian Govt. simply drop bombs over the Taj & Oberoi hotels, (and let’s not forget the Nariman house, where your Israeli friends were busy cooking broth for Pakistan). And you shamelessly suggest we wipe off a complete region just because its got a few black sheep? Ok, it seems to us, Mr. Puri, that either you are not and have never been a part of the Indian Army, or they retired you early due to your childish, infact amusing approach towards solving problems. As to why we decided to stop the operation against these Terrorists of Swat is something beyond your comprehension, and it would be highly recommended for you to stop giving advise to people with more than twice as much experience as you might have. Haven’t you heard the phrase “it is better to remain quiet and let people think you’re a fool instead of speaking up and confirming it”.

As far as the flogging of the girl in Swat is concerned, to which you have attributed your whole letter to our General (COAS), its a fake story. Even if it were true, it is mere punishment. What do you call the burning alive of human beings? This is a far worse threat and insult to humanity than any one could imagine in the 21st century!

Not only the NYT, but the Pentagon, Tel Aviv and Delhi have also expressed their opinion of Pakistan’s collapse in next six months. It doesn’t worry us much, because the sooner we learn about our enemies, the better. Nonetheless, it also clearly tells us about the forces at work in Pakistan trying to tear it apart. But we assure you, that even if we DO break (GOD Forbid), we’ll only break into 4. Think of what will happen if BJP takes over India and starts openly suppressing all the minorities in your population of over 1 billion people. India will break into countless pieces, just like the USSR.

A nice stunt you’ve pulled there, and I completely appreciate it. I hope that you shall equally enjoy our response to your “well-versed” letter. Keep the comedy coming, this is good for the future of both Pakistan and Bharat friendship.

Yours,

Chokore Paratha

The bigger game - 1

These are weird times. The world is in a state of war. There are no clearly defined enemies, there's no hero, no one knows when and how will this war end.

There are two ways this war can be observed. One, through the governments' eyes as shown by popular media. This perspective is as simple as ABC: 'Taliban and Al-Qaeda attacked America on 9/11 and now America wants to take revenge and wipe them out. Taliban have been hiding and running and America and its allies has been chasing them since the war started.' Cat and mouse game (We have got a very clever mouse by the way and the cat through this perspective falls nothing short of Tom). This is the easy way out. This is all what the governments tell us and want us to believe.

The second perspective is that its the cat who is cunning and the mouse is the poor guy. Reaching this conclusion is difficult because it requires inquisitiveness, deep insight and a lot of common sense. The information is difficult to get because it doesn't get that highlighted by the media and is ignored as unimportant. It is found in bits and pieces and the puzzle has to be solved by joining the information. The outcome is usually really huge and scary. Unfortunately the so called liberals and moderates who are vigorously skeptic about traditions, orthodoxy and religion miserably fail to read between the lines when it comes to politics. They don't question, they don't ponder. They want to believe the 'cunning mouse-naive cat' theory.

9/11 drama was staged by American government/agencies. Now there is a huge bundle of evidence supporting it. I have seen at least three American documentaries proving that 9/11 was not the job of Al-Qaeda. Evidence from other countries and other Americans is additive. Every one who believes that it was done by Al-Qaeda needs to go through the evidence against it. Common sense also raises many questions to create doubt against the government presented perspective. Like: How come the CIA never knew it? How come the air traffic controlling departments couldn't notice the change in a plane's route? Why weren't the defense mechanisms mobilized until the second plane crash which took place after about 10 minutes of the first? Etc. This was done to terrorize people, so that they would give up their rights, give in to the government and the government could justify her invasion of South Asia. There was NO other way at all she could do it. So the whole war on terror becomes a lie. Now, why would she do it, I haven't been able to find one answer. Oil reserves of Iraq, deeming Pakistan and China as potential threats and reaching up to them, fear of spreading of Islam. (Speaking of Islam, 20,000 people convert to Islam in America each year according to NBC News)

(To be continued)

Sigh...

No one knows about the investigation of the 3/3 attack, if at all it is being carried out. Similarly people will forget 3/30 attack in due time. No one will ever know who did it and the culprits wouldn't be captured let alone prosecuted.

Stupid Rehman Malik's stupid remark that Baitullah Masood's group is involved strengthens my view that it has been done to pave way for America. This is to reinforce the idea that Taliban have got a strong hold in Pakistan and that America needs to come and wipe them out. They are going to pay $1.5 billion per year. Thats not for nothing. This money is to shut the mouth of those officials who say that they condemn American attacks. America is already talking about Quetta. Taliban have fled from Afghanistan to FATA, from FATA to Quetta, soon it will be Punjab and Sindh. And America WILL attack Quetta but slowly and smoothly, just like the attacks in FATA were declared mistakes in the beginning and then these mistakes became regular. Obama is poor guy. He is weak. As I said when he was elected that there would be NO change in America's policy. Her advancements wouldn't stop. She wouldn't quit Afghanistan or Iraq in near future. And that she would try her best to get Pakistan. But will the Pakistanis allow her to get them that easy? Lets see.

People aren't afraid

Who would have thought that among all the bombings and threats and the recent attack on Sri Lankan team, such a huge mass would come out on roads in Lahore. People aren't afraid. Literate masses/middle class people might be, who sit in their homes and watch it all on TV but illiterate ones aren't. And it was certainly this huge crowd that made the government give up. One can just hope and pray now that every thing goes well.

Honestly, I don't think the things are going to change much. The people running the government are incompetent. There will be more such clashes and I doubt the fact that the government will complete its five years. For starters, PM has announced the restoring of CJ Iftikhar. OK, but how? Will he take a fresh oath or be restored as such? Why is the government waiting for the tenure of CJ Doggar to end? Secondly I don't think they will declare the steps taken on 3rd November invalid neither will they restore the constitution to its pre-3rd November state. This is an NRO government which itself is the biggest injustice, injustice to the 160 million people of Pakistan. But I'm still hopeful.

Town arrested

I happen to live in the same housing society as our dear Nawaz Sharif. To prevent that one man from moving, whole of the town has been sealed off. No one can move out, no one can move in. While Nawaz has been house arrested, all the other residents of the society have been town arrested. Democracy rules. Lol.

Cyber war

There might not be an actual war with bombs and missiles but this Mumbai incidence and the later happenings has filled a lot of hatred in the people of Pakistan and India against each other. What could be a better source to know that than Orkut; the youngster's place.

While calling each other the worst names, abusing each other's religion, they are now hacking the communities and profiles on Orkut. Indians have the advantage of being greater in number. Up till now I haven't seen any hacked Indian community/profile, while the largest Pakistan community which had above 40,000 members and a lot of profiles have been hacked. And theres no doubt that this war has been started by Indians, when they first hacked the OGRA (Pakistan Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) web site. This hacker group calls itself HMG, Hindu Militant Group. Not only Orkut, theres a lot of dirty crap on Facebook and YouTube. How far will this Cyber war go, that can't be said for sure.

I had some friends in India through. One was a medical student and he used to scrap me almost every other day. After the Mumbai incidence, I scraped him, offering my condolences and condemning the attacks. He never replied. And I felt ashamed on scraping him in the first place.

A few weeks ago, President Zardari, while addressing some Indian journalists via video conference, said, 'There's a bit of a Pakistani in every Indian and there's a bit of an Indian in every Pakistani.' He must have realized the futility of his statement now.

Things might get normal as they were on political scenario, but it will be difficult to extinguish these burning coals of hatred in common people, fueled by the wrong policies of some stupid people.

More of shoes

Ahahahah. Stop it yaar. Now they have made a video game. One who hits Bush the most number of shoes, wins. Something like this:



I heard in the news that they have broken that Iraqi's ribs and arms. I hope he gets eternal relief soon.

The historical shoes

Ahahahahah. A Saudi man has offered $10 million to buy the shoes thrown at President Bush. Wah wah.

My heart goes out for that courageous Iraqi man. He has been transfered to an unknown place already. We all know what are they going to do to him :(

A farewell gift

Sorry Mr. Bush, you certainly deserved more than this. This Iraqi journalist called him a dog and said that it's a farewell gift for Mr. Bush who had come to visit Iraq for the last time before his tenure ends. He got thousands of people killed in Iraq and couldn't even justify it. Called it an 'intelligence failure', a mistake you know. I'm in search of an interview in which Bush, when asked that how much he feels responsible for the current circumstances of the world, replied something like this: 'In the coming times, people will come to know that many decisions were made ten to eleven years before my holding the office.' Good bye Bush.

Destroying the first line of defense

I feel sorry for ALL those killed in the Mumbai carnage. Even the Indians have no proof of Pakistani involvement in the Mumbai attacks as yet and this video goes on to say that ISI is behind EVERY terrorist attack in the world. Why they are all after ISI, I found my answer from Gen. Hamid Gul. He said that ISI is the first line of defense of the country. Destroying ISI would mean depriving a person of his ears and eyes and thus making it easy for the predators to attack. Let us for a while believe that ISI IS behind every attack in the world. Then thinking it from another perspective, I say that ISI is the most powerful organization of the world. It can do whatever it wants, anywhere it wants. And all other intelligence agencies of the world are so inferior to it that they never get the slightest idea of what ISI is upto.

On the foot steps of America

Even if they hadn't called it their 9/11 it would have reminded me of the event, not because of the hugeness of it but because of India's reaction to it: blaming Pakistan without any evidence so blatantly, demanding people and threatening to strike Pakistani areas. (But it will not, seriously, I don't think they have enough courage). And now I have no doubt left in my mind that India has not accepted Pakistan up till now and that they can't miss any opportunity to hurt/blame/strike Pakistan.

One of the ways to guess the culprit of an event is to see who gets the maximum benefit. Looking at the Mumbai event I think India has got the most benefits and Pakistan is in all disadvantage.

*They are getting sympathies from all over the world and this is a plus point politically.

*The Kashmir problem which was emerging in a new way and was gaining strength has been totally sidelined. Obama announced to play the role of arbitrator in the Kashmir issue and India's reaction was worth watching. They immediately sent a group to America to give briefing to Obama and his colleagues about the Kashmir issue. They have got rid of it for the time being.

*BJP has got political advantages as the elections are coming by. As was in the news that BJP distributed pamphlets saying 'If you want to get rid of terrorism then vote for BJP'

*Another advantage went to RAW. When the Samjhota Express incidence took place, India immediately blamed Pakistan for it. Later investigations showed that their own Colonel was responsible for burning down 62 Pakistanis alive and who had contacts with RAW. This Colonel was convicted and some terrorism squad was investigating the case. Luckily for the Colonel all the members of the team, including their head, were killed in Taj Hotel.

*They have got yet another reason to blame and threat Pakistan. America and India both have said that if Pakistan doesn't do something about the terrorist (as if what it is already doing is not enough) then they will attack the terrorist places inside Pakistan.

Pakistan on the other hand has all the disadvantages due to these attacks. The only benefit I see is that this incidence has showed once again that who is a friend and who is not, which the Pakistanis tend to forget very soon.
