It took 5 years for the U.S. to understand the double games by Pakistan on terrorism and that too the hard way. I always thought it was because Indians could not convince and communicate what they knew adequately with urgency.
Then it turns out even the U.S. wasn't able to convince pakistan that the jig is up, in three years.
It has required the Peshawar massacre by the same terrorists that Pakistan had cultivated, before they realize the catch 22 they are in. If they act against the terrorists (I mean really act, like arrest the real jihadi leaders) the ISI establishment will be up in arms against the government and with kiyani gone, a coup is almost unavoidable. If they don't act against them and that too with some high profile, the entire world will be up in arms - and it started with Ban ki Moon statements and Kerry 'visit'.
It'd have been lot more dignified if PAK govt had done this before being instructed by Kerry. Will they never learn? They never seem to care or know about appearances. Even if it was pressure by Kerry they could have at least told him to visit after the announcement. Or may be Kerry wanted it this way to shore up his and Obama's profile!
I don't think Modi or India had any role in this announcement. All they have to do is sit back and watch as these clueless Pakistani leadership - govt, military, jihadi - self destruct going against each other in the international arena.tinker haqqani and sayeed. Tailor Hamid Gul, and ISI current. Soldier Rasheel. Spy Zaid Hamid and Imran Khan.
Khel katham. Now they have decide whether they are Saudi pawns or western pawns. Jinnah will have turned in his grave.
India should reciprocate by starting the composite high levels talks
