In return we would have given you tea at Lahore gymkhana. Indian tamasha. Is there a single Indian who isn't obsessed.

Indians seriously live in their own little world.

Indians begged to Ms Condoleza Rice to get permission from Pakistan to let India exhibit a SIR-G-KAL strike with a guarantee for no counter strike but sternly rejected by Pakistan.

Indians make themselves look bad when they post threads like this here.

Indians begged to Ms Condoleza Rice to get permission from Pakistan to let India exhibit a SIR-G-KAL strike with a guarantee for no counter strike but sternly rejected by Pakistan.

Tough talking by then external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee, following the 26/11 attacks, rattled Pakistan so much that it pressed the panic button and called everyone from Chinese to the Americans saying that India has decided to go to war.

At one point, the then secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice also panicked temporarily after she could not get Mukherjee on line even after repeated attempts.

"The Pakistanis say the Indians have warned them that they've decided to go to war," a White House aide anxiously called Rice.

As a result of the wrong rumour coming out of Pakistan, the then US President George Bush asked her to travel to Islamabad and New Delhi to defuse the situation, Rice says in her latest book 'No High Honors' that is scheduled to hit the book stores next week.

"What?" Rice uttered after the White House aide told her about the message from Pakistan.

"That isn't what they're (India) telling me. In my many conversations with the Indians over the two days, they'd emphasised their desire to defuse the situation and their need for the Pakistanis to do something to show that they accepted responsibility for tracking down the terrorists," Rice wrote in her 766-page book.

Keep discussion related to your written post. You said something about Rice, i replied you then.

The UPA managed to form very responsible govts through thick and thin.
A good quality of them was to walk the talk and not to talk nonsense.
The current govt would have told the public that they're gonna strike and then given up to international pressure anyway.

2008 air alert
After the 2008 Mumbai attacks, PAF was put on high alert. It deployed to all its wartime locations and started combat air patrols. The speed and intensity of the deployment and PAF's readiness took the Indian Army High Command by surprise and later reports suggest was the main factor in the Indian decision of not going for cross border raids inside Pakistan.[44][45] PAF was issued a Standing Order to launch an immediate counter-attack in case of an air attack from India, after a call from the Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee to the Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari (the call later turned out to be a hoax).[44][45][46][47][48]

Indians did try. Their jets were intercepted and escorted back home within 4 miles of Pakistani airspace.

Which country wouldn't put the air force on high alert in such a situation!
PAF being on alert is irrelevant. If there were a plan, it would've gone through regardless.
