Three things that seem incorrect:
There is no doubt that India cannot and will not attempt to maintain its presence in Pakistan, in case of war. The issue here is the destruction that India will seek to inflict on Pakistan in a relatively short time and then head for the exit. That is why we need to stop the advance before it crosses the border, hence the security concerns.
Let us look at the issue rationally.
Can India totally destroy Pakistan?
No. There is not a hope in hell. And there are many good reasons that such a theory is totally bogus and impractical, apart from being impossible.
Is that be so, why and when will India attack Pakistan, if indeed it does?
1. If there is Pakistani actions like Op Gibraltar of 1965 or Kargil.
2. If there is another Mumbai type of carnage.
3. Or make the terrorism in Kashmir cost prohibitive.
India has a whole lot of problems of her own and Pakistan has more.
So, what will India gain by attacking Pakistan? She cannot retain any land captured, it will have to be returned. Likewise, for Pakistan. Therefore, any war will be of no use to either India or Pakistan.
In Kashmir, why should Pakistan make the situation unbearable for India so that India attacks. Who know what will be the outcome. Right now, by bleeding India by a 1000 cuts it is keep India totally occupied and much money of India is being employed unproductively.
As far as what is known as Cold Start in the media, it is of concern to Pakistan. Pakistan will take necessary actions to ensure it does not seriously affect it, but because of Cold Start, when it has not been applied, will Pakistan go to war? I don't think so.
I don't know if the US will provide any level of security to Pakistan. It is there to protect US interests in the region esp. the movement of oil and keep a presence close to Iran. There is no reason for India to see the US with Pakistan because it is not a reality.
It is not that US will side Pakistan because of any extra love for Pakistan. In fact, the US will side with none. It is only that the US will ensure any war is stopped since they are petrified that it can lead to a nuclear exchange. That is why the US will take interest.
This matter is highly dubious. That man has been changing stance and it would not serve India's purpose to give him the spotlight. In the event of Headley's testimony being considered doubtful and contradictory, India's global image will be affected for actively promoting Headley's name.
And the article makes for an interesting read. I may not agree with it, but it's still worth it.
About the ISI link to David Headley, it is mentioned in the book, Inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban: Beyond Bin Laden and 9/11″, by the journalist of Pakistan, Mr Shahzad, who has been killed.
It was also said by the ex Foreign Secretary of Pakistan, Mr Shahayar Khan in his intereview.
That the ISI has links with the AQ has evidence in the PNS Mehran raid and for which Shahzad was killed!
so u think they work in afghanistan???
Yes, there are construction going on by India, there are Indians who are Afghani citizens historically, there are businessmen.
One indian colonel telling Pakistan that india is not a threat to Pakistan and some jackals are there to join the chorus! Indians think that since uncle sam is behind them lies are cheaper today.
Jackals?
Is this a soliloquy?
Or self revelation?
Is this your Uncle Sam?
They love to act under a false flag! It gives them a sense of security.
OK, if you say so.
By what is your insecurity even when flying your true flag?
