Re: ISI’s dirty war against Pakistan
Defeat and surrender is normal for any armed force. It doesn’t mean you may brand it as timid or incompetent. America was defeated in Vietnam and after fair humiliation had to retreat. Americans tasted similar insult in the Korean war. Latest American war on terror in Afghanistan is also not a different story. So are you going to say Americans are inferior to Indians?
Soviet Union was defeated in the Afghan War and in the aftermath it not only dismembered but its sole ideology of communism also collapsed. Does it mean you’re going to sink Russia into the Black Sea for its failure?
In the Second World War, Brits had to evacuate 340,000 of the Allied troops from France to Britain because they had the means and resources of evacuation. Otherwise Hitler would have captured those 340,000 troops and that number would be just less than 3 times the number of Pakistani troops taken as POWs by India in 1971. In short, those 93000 Pakistani troops as POWs was not really a great success for India. Pakistan couldn’t evacuate them like the allied forces did in 1940. Bengal was over a 1000 miles away from Pakistan. This is a reality you cannot ignore. To make it easy to understand I’ll give an analogy. Let’s say India sends 150,000 troops to ‘protect’ Afghanistan against Afghan Taliban. If Pakistan is smart enough and intervenes in Afghanistan to support the Taliban like India supported Mukti Bahini in 1971, Pakistan will hold these 150,000 Indian troops to settle the score. Now what a big deal?
Americans infiltrating in Pakistan and hunting OBL is less shameful than the OBL brigade ‘allegedly’ infiltrating America and destroying the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001. Am I right?
Pakistan and America were allies when Abbotabad episode took place. Two helicopters with Navi Seals came, one of the copters was down (Americans said it was an accident, but if you have common sense you can tell it wasn’t). Now what if Pakistan gunned down both US copters? Wouldn’t it prove that Pakistan was with Al-Qaida giving shelter to OBL and fighting the Americans for them? Pakistan was not fool enough to do that. It simply let them take OBL whom Pakistanis never owned.
