cheetah while you are right abt Bush thing the problem is that Obama is no less and neither is Hilary Clinton, both having descirbed Pakistan as epicenter for terror echoing Manmohans words.
there is a perception even in IA circles that political decision to strike was not made under US pressure as US wants to see how much can GoP and PA deliver and what is the equation. With obama clearly stating that the afghan theater and pakistan are the places to win the war against terror in, the situation is turbulent especially with induction of more US troops and infrastructure development as also now I am corroborating for first time that IA is moving, now their peacetime units have finally begun to move ...... so far the impending war was only in media .... and empty threats but now troops are moving .....
hilary clinton clearly rebuked obama on attacking pakistan. any land invasion of pakistan by either india or the u.s. is really off the map cause the least it would do is unite all muslims liberal, secular, jihadis, etc. or anyone opposed to zionists and neo-con terrorist thugs hegemonic plans over the region...
lets suppose if the u.s. goes to war with pak (which the indians would love to see), which has a possibility of i think less than 1%, then you can say goodbye to the U.S. hegemony in south asia and middle east as all of their military bases in the region come under pak's missiles ranges...another interesting thing is that paks tribal areas are not deserts or plains, its all hills and mountains in the tribal areas, so for the u.s. to go into those areas even with all sorts of high-tech weaponry would quadruple their casualties...
secondly, u.s. simply cannot afford another military conflict....iraq war would cost them close to a trillion dollars by the time they pull out, and iraq's population and military might is a fraction of pakistan's, so try guessing how many trillion dollars would it cost the u.s. to go to war with pak? the most the u.s. would do is keep installing corrupt regimes in pak to accomplish their objectives...
thirdly, no matter how much GOI or indians cry and wine about destroying or attacking pakistan, or making futile attempt to label it as a failed or terrorist state, the fact remains that if the U.S. cant afford another war, how the hell is it possible that india could afford one with half of its population living far below the poverty line and in slums?
last but not least, the u.s. is in a great recession now, and the worst one since the great depression. bush senior didnt opt for a full scale invasion of iraq in early 90s because the u.s. was still recovering from economic crisis...so anyone who thinks obama will go for one has got to be a mad man...
therefore this article is just another attempt by zionists/neo con terrorist thugs to scare and subdue pak's completely ...which im sure they'll never accomplish
..wait for US,Israel n India to come vs Pakistan n Iran and remmember death before disgrace my grandfathers brother was in Pakistan army in 1965 he lay downd when India tanks came and blow himself up.
