Pak could move army on border: Report

Press Trust of India


Pakistan may relocate around 1,00,000 military personnel from its restive border area with Afghanistan if there is an escalation in tension with India, which has hinted at the involvement of Pakistani elements in the Mumbai carnage, a media report said on Saturday.

Private channel Geo News reported that Pakistan's military and intelligence sources told a select group of journalists on Saturday that NATO and American command had been told that Islamabad would be forced to relocate its military from the borders with Afghanistan if there is escalation in tension with India, where nearly 200 people were killed in the multiple terror attacks on the Indian financial capital.

"These sources have said NATO and the US command have been told that Pakistan would not be able to concentrate on the war on terror and against militants around the Afghanistan border as defending its borders with India was far more important," Geo News quoted senior Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir as saying.

1. More pakistani blackmail

... let us do our terrorism or we won't help you!

[Arctic Dave]

2. But what about US terrorism.

Who is gonna help us?

[Trajan]

4. While I would agree Iraq was probably a criminal act ....

And it deserves the full scrutiny of the international community and of history, one cannot argue that the immoral acts of one party justifies the immoral acts of another party ....

First: It is a fallacy (Tu Quoque)

Second: It is a justification of vengeance, which, by and large, is a good part of the reason the world is so fucked up ...

IF my neighbor kills my son, would it be just to kill his son ? ....

No .. It would not ....

It would be just to apprehend the guilty party, and commit them to a course of justice incorporating the standard components of the legal system, as dysfunctional as that system might be ...

It is NO recourse to simply repeat immoral acts .... It becomes twice the immorality ...

16. Suggesting the Paki GOVERNMENT

is involved in TERRORISM?

[Acadia Blue]

3. India, don't act like GW Bush. Wait until the dust settles and find

our who really did this. The terrorists may not be affiliated with the Pakistani government.
The terrorists may just be working to keep India and Pakistan from having peace.
Don't GW Bush it. Look at the mess he made.

[jaysunb]

5. Let's hope they heed this advice

which, I'm sure they've heard many times by now.

[cosmicone]

6. It doesn't take Einstein to figure out who did it

... it was P-A-K-I-S-T-A-N and the fact they are already engaging in this blackmail, shows culpability -- just like someone who runs from cops when asked to do a routine traffic stop.

12. What is your position...

that it was a government sponsored act of terrorism, or citizens of Pakistan acting on their own?

[cosmicone]

13. ISI sponsored

the government may or may not be involved

[ohio2007]

8. December 13, 2001. Who did that attack ? Almost seven years now

it couldn't still be unsolved


"'Warning' to nation "

I know it doesn't fit the knee jerk current events but it is worth a review.

It seems the current Indian regime has failed to protect its citizens from another attack.

Guess the "inside job" angle will come into play with elections comming.
:sarcasm:

[cosmicone]

10. yeah right

Indians have more of a motive to attack Indian interests than Pakistanis do!!

I bet you believe 9/11 was caused by Israel as well hahahahahaha.

[ohio2007]

11. right

and people like you want so bad to blame the CIA 'spooks' :eyes:

[Alamuti Lotus]

14. careful, cosmicone is just as anti-Muslim as you are

or so I have noticed anyway.

Dec-13 was, as far as I know, carried out by Kashmiri resistance faction Lashkar at-Taiba. Motivation is obvious and requires no foreign conspiratorial complicity, they hate the gruesome military occupation in Kashmir and brought the fight directly to the politicians behind this bad policy.
Wading through the sensationalist media/politician bullshit on this more recent event is difficult, but it would seem that this organization also fought in Bombay. Motivation is tricky to say at this point, but as it is speculated below it seems most likely intended to drive an ugly wedge in the current US/Pakistan-India detente trend..

[amborin]

17. yes

although Pakistan's security,ISI, also operates by using Lashkar as proxy for attacks on India

[amborin]

9. Mubai attacks may have been to help Taliban by reigniting tensions beween India & Pakistan

[Alamuti Lotus]

15. This makes much sense

The Pakistani army has been occupied, as the 'anvil' in league with an American 'hammer', in mass assaults on villages in the districts of North-West Frontier Provinces (NWFP) and Federally-Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Many villages have been completely destroyed, hundreds (possibly thousands) killed and tens of thousands more uprooted by the US/Pakistani assault. Somehow, this does not concern the international media commentators too terribly much. On the other front, relations between India and the Pakistani quisling regime have been improving since late into Busharraf's reign. Islamic resistance factions in Afghanistan, Kasmir, and Pakistan have every reason to drive a gruesome spike between them at the moment. The question is whether the gov'ts will take the bait and fall into familiar patterns.
