A hoax call that could have triggered war

[Prodigy17]

Yeah, an inside job for sure but from Indian side. I say by the naive himself i-e Mukherjee. Isn't it embarassing that you make threats and then back out at the cost of international embarassment for hollow jingoism. here is the analogy:-
1. After 9/11, Powell calls Musharraf and threatens to take action
2. After 26/11, Mukherjee calls Zardari and threatens in the same manner
The only difference being that earlier threat was made by america and the latter by Indians which was rebuked so a facade being planned to cover up the gaffe and naivete of Mukherjee.
Copy cats......

Yeah, it was most probably from Mukherjee himself because number was same.They think they can talk like Americans..

Looks like people got panicked even with a hoax call, imagine if it would have been real call but you thought hoax call, what would happen?.

So you do take orders from Americans then?

 

[Prodigy17]

Not only the number bro but the voice itself, i imagine the report itself says that the contact was being maintained throughout the incident so don't think, Zardari can make the mistake of recognizing the voice of dear Indian friend.
One thing you can be sure that it is not possible for any daft to pick up the phone and say, "George W Bush here, President Zardari, please mobilize your army from west to east coz Indians are mobilizing their troops"....... How easy and convenient, isn't it????

Forget about us, talk about yourself..... don't you take orders from them.....

Using a little common sense (which is not very common) will make it clear that it is the quite opposite of what you say. Looks like, someone broke in sweat when told by americans that the other party means business you dafts..... dont thump your chest when you can't implement it..... mobilization of strategic forces....... clue for sensible people......

Looks like coercive diplomacy has worked

Rice tells Pakistan to act ‘or US will’ -DAWN

 

[Kasrkin]

Looks like someone is making face saving excuses by pretending that the US will implement their bidding...whereas the fact of the matter is that the US has been saying these words for years. Means nothing, nothings gonna happen. What is important is that our deterrence prevailed as usual and Indian troops stayed in their barracks (where they are safe).

Deterrence will work only as long as push doesn't become shove.
Well one doesn't know what is cooking on the sidelines.

 

[Awesome]

India, US, Timbaktoo all cannot pressurize Pakistan into doing anything drastic. We have a democratic setup in Pakistan. Anything and everything will require Parliamentary approval. There aren't many people doing the bidding of Timbaktoo in Parliament these days.

There will be a controlled, measured response at best.

It looks like US doesn't give much value to your democratic setup, which is evident when Secretary Rice has met Kiyani first rather than Zardari or Gilani. Army are the real power wielders sir.

 

[Goodperson]

Caller posing as Indian FM Pranab Mukherjee, also tried to call US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, but due to specific checks by US officials the call was not put through..we can call Zardari from a PCO ?

Reminds me of prank call to Alaska Gov Sara Palin

I never heard that she met Kiyani first.

I know she met the whole top leadership. But Zardari was supreme on her agenda.

Her meeting only included Kiyani because Shuja Pasha reports to Kiyani.
