Re: Why the pessimism?
I can also type in capital letters but it won’t make my case any stronger. I won’t make any complain if they confess that they don’t have capacity to counter Taliban, hence these attacks will continue to happen, rather than making the tallest possible claims in the world and getting the fire like they did last night.
I am complaining against the lies that I am fed day in and day out. That our defence is impregnable; that our defence is in safe hands; that we are fully capable of defending ourselves. You could not do anything in Abbotabad citing technological mismatch. Accepted. And what latest technology Taliban have got?
I am unqualified, unfit and incompetent to fight the war, but at least I am telling you the truth and not giving you false hopes that I am perfectly capable of fixing those guys.
I salute all those who have been dying, but does that make rest of their colleagues safer? I don’t think so.
Our Naval Chief says it wasn’t a security lapse. Tell me under oath it wasn’t a security lapse and I will instantly join your camp.
