Pakistan Daily: 5 Points That Destroy India's Latest Mumbai Fairytale
Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 06:01 PM by Andre II
Don't know if this article has been discussed here already:


" If we believe the Indian storyline, it defies logic. How can a professional spy agency like ISI commit the following mistakes:

1. Sailing the terrorist off from Karachi. Why not Dubai, Chittagong or Eden for better deception?

2. Credit cards of Pakistani origin in their pockets. Do the suicide bombers carry the IDs in their pockets?

3. Their Pakistani Punjabi ascent. The first lesson given to intelligence operators is to adapt to local environments. If such an operation was planned by Pakistan and ISI, the operatives would have known that they would have to communicate/ negotiate with the hostages and others and hence would have concealed this giveaway sign."

3. It is nearly impossible to know what is going on,
and who is behind it.

2. Here's my question: Why would the ISI or any part of the Pakistani
government want to do this type of attack? How would they expect to benefit?

When they were found out, they know it would mean a retaliation from India. Unless, an element of the Pakistani military or ISI believes they can prod India into toppling the President and PM, and effectively take control of the country and the nukes. Even that is highly unlikely and risky.

4. The whole thing is a big joke.
On its surface.

6. The more we find out, the less we know.
Muddying the waters, that is all that I see. There is so much that doesn't add up or make sense. We will likely never know the truth, but it will be used as an excuse to kill and expand the waronterra.

5. Sounds like someone wants India and Pakistan to go to war with eachother.
Maybe to aid a certain terrorist leader rumored to be hiding in the mountains of Pakistan.

8. But that war would be fought against those very terrorists.
India would, if it devolved to this, fight the terrorists within Pakistan's border. The US would continue and likely escalate it's incursions into Pakistan. Those mountains would be the focus, as well as Kashmir.

The Taliban has offered a truce with Pakistan to aid in fighting India, but any suspected terrorist hold-up would be a target.

7. How can a professional publisher of articles commit the following mistake?
Refer to "Pakistani Punjabi ascent" when meaning to refer to "Pakistani Punjabi accent."

9. That one got me also. Spellchecker misses one again.
Unless they really meant ascent, which makes less sense.
