India prepared to attack Pakistan after Mumbai

So say U.S. officials. "US: India prepared for Pakistan attack, say Pentagon officials," from AKI, December 15 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

Washington, 15 Dec. (AKI) - India began preparations to attack Pakistan in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks, Pentagon officials told US media on Monday. Unnamed defence officials cited by CNN said the Indian Air Force was carrying out preliminary preparations for airstrikes, after the deadly bombings in India's commercial capital that killed over 170 people and injured close to 300 in November.

One official said that India's Air Force 'went on alert', while another said that preliminary preparations can put India in a position to launch airstrikes against suspected terror camps in Pakistan.

US officials made their remarks after an Indian aircraft reportedly violated Pakistani airspace twice on Saturday. Tensions between the nuclear neighbours have risen following the Mumbai attacks.

India says the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Toiba is to blame for the bombings that targeted two luxury hotels and a Jewish centre. However, Pakistan has denied any involvement in the attacks, but has pledged to work with the Indian investigation....

And that cooperation has been going along just swimmingly.

Good about time.

God's speed Indian armed forces, give them hell.

police has prevented a series of bomb attacks in Paris, planned by a non-Buddhist group named as "Front révolutionnaire afghan", which is formed as those people think that their religion is under attack even-though they broke the statue of Buddha in Afghanistan....

several buildings are closed as police search for more bombs....

What worries me, now, is that there are large contingents of Indian and Pakistani people within the UK. If a war breaks out there, it will beak out here.

We should all hope that since 1998 India has quietly & seruptiously developed a first strike capability. Perhaps the U.S., U.K., & Israel should help India rid the world of Pakistan, the Islamic menace!

That could actually be a good thing because we - and the authorities - would then have to pick sides and decide that Muslims (who will undoubtedly start it, take it farther, and commit all the offensive crime) must be monitored. It will plant the seed in people's minds that Pakis, and by extentension Muslims generally, have no business being here.

But don't you think that war would be more likely to break out withing India first? They have a 15% population, and they're all citizens. Here, no Pakis and very few Indians' roots in teh West go back more tha a generation.

@jdamn: Do you mean war will break out within India between Hindus and Muslims? If so, I agree, it may even come close to the scale of the Partition war.

Actually there is a fair number of Pakis and Indians who go back more than a generation now, you'd be surprised, however, the Pakis will always be Pakis while Indians try to assimilate to a great degree.

I can see the Pakis trying to cause trouble in the West, with or without India on their minds, simply they just hate the West. Personally I will never understand why, but they simply just do.

Now my opinion on the whole war thing with Pakiland.

I am so happy that we may go in there and show these terrorist punks how we do things downtown.

The only thing I am concerend about presently is that after we take over Pakiland again, like we always do, I really don't think we should return it since they are obviously no appreciative of India's goodwill gesture. I just see it as a waste of so many brave martial groups of India, namely the Gorkhas, Rajputs, Dogras, Jats, Marattha and many others who valiantly have defended the honour of Mother India in the face of the Islamic onslaught.

I recall President Musharaff once said in a speech in 2003: "There are two reasons why Pakistan will never defeat India in war; The Rajput Regiment and the Gorkha Regiment." I'll bet my cousins are shrapening their Khukris right now for some good old "Kati Diu, Kati Diu".

Although India could go in, its the Indian politicians who are bastards. Indian forces will annihilate the Pakistani forces and send this terrorist army to meet its false Demonic blood thristy god, however its the Indian politicans who ruin whatever progress the Indian forces ahve made.

I only hope this time whoever is advising the Prime Minister (whom to me looks like a wimp), tells him to crush the Pakis once and for all, and furthermore librate the lands that once belonged to Hindus and Sikhs and finally, we should have a complete exchange of populations, something that should have taken place in 1947.

I guess its time I call all my cousins to wish them the best, in case we finally go to war against these Terrorists.

Jai MahaKali, Ayo Gorkhali!

- Ayo Gorkhali

I have stopped counting the number of times that the U.S.A. saved pakitan from India.
Did you people know that during the bangladesh liberation war the U.S.A sent a nuclear armed aircraft carrier to the bay of bengal to threaten India (that did not have nukes at that time) NOT to conquer and overrun pakistan on the western frontier of the war.
During the Kargil war the U.S.A. put pressure on India not to escalate the fighting and to only reconquer the parts of Indian held Kashmir that were lost to the invading forces (mujahedin fighters combined with paki soldiers)
After the parliament attacks it was also the U.S.A. that put pressure on India not to escalate things and not to go to war with pakistan.
Now the U.S.A. is again putting pressure on India not to attack India.

When will the U.S.A. learn that the best thing to do is to support India FULLY in an attempt to reconquer pakistan. The U.S. intelligence should work with the indian intelligence to find out where the paki nukes are stored. After that it would not be very difficult to perform a pre emptive strike at those nukes. After the paki's lose their nuclear ability than it would be only a matter of time for pakistan is overrun by the Indian forces in a conventional war. The paki population than can be helped to take of the chains of islam

correction:
Now the U.S.A. is again putting pressure on India not to attack PAKISTAN.

jdamn

If a war breaks out, one more good thing it'll do is help expose the Mohammedans in India who are pro-Pak, and distinguish them from the taquiyya practitioners. It would be funny to see them practice taquiya to the ultimate level - fight and kill/die against the Paki troops.

Now is the best time to do it, with the US administration in transition, since nobody knows the differences, if any, between Bush and Obama policies.

To address what Gorkhali said, if Paki Air Force can destroy India's political leaders as part of the war, they'll not be around to do any damage.

Let it rip!

At the moment India should just prepare with fool proof plans. It must identify the "Real Enemy" first. During and before 1857 , there was no Pakistan or even an idea of that. A gamble by the then enlightened Muslims was played roping in Hindus too but benefiting only Muslims with the intention of restoring Islamic/Mughal rule in India which was overtaken by the British East India Co.(subsequently British Govt.). Muslims established Deoband (equivalent of the now ?banned Jamaat-Ud-Dawa of Pakistan established later on) seminary Darul Ulum in U.P. in mid India around that time in 1857 with covert outside help without the knowledge of British but with help and consent from Arabia(?Saudi) and Persia.

In 1947 this helped them(Muslims) get a good foothold as a new entity known as Pakistan. Rest of the world was too busy establishing 'Israel'.

So even if Pakistan goes away and vanishes , the problem of Idea of Pakistan continues to prosper covertly and more dangerously.

All these have to be factored-in before Pakistan is hit.

Rammer, why on Earth would India want Pakistan back? If anything they should expel their Muslims, force Pakistan to take them under military duress, and guard their borders. Pakistan is a cancer which was rightly excised. It just needs to be contained and the Indian Muslims will have to prove where their loyalties lie.

@ jdamn,
YES pakistan is a cancer. But that is due to the fact that the majority is muslim and islam has a tendency to fuck up and destroy everything.
pakistan once belonged to India. Some of Hinduism's sacred places are now in pakistan and are occupied by the muslims. It should be a moral obligation for India to reconquer territories lost.

Remember the Spanish reconquesta. When the Spanish were attacked and their territory was invaded and occupied by the muslim Moors did they lay back and allowed the muslim Moors to hold on to their conquered territories. NO they stood up, fought back and when they were triumphant they slaughtered the Moors and their converts and kicked the remaining muslim moors out of their country.

I firmly believe that India should reconquer pakistan and free the pakistani population of the chains of islam. In the past the invading islamic forces gave the Hindu&Buddhist population of the conquered territories the option convert or die. I see no reason why a Hindu army of India can't give the muslims a taste of their own medicine. A pakistan without islam would be a blessing to the whole world.

From post above: I see no reason why a Hindu army of India can't give the muslims a taste of their own medicine. A pakistan without islam would be a blessing to the whole world.

The reason is nukes. It is in no ones best interest for a nuclear exchange.
There are lunar-ticks with their fingers on those buttons, especially Pakistan, where Allah runs the show.

The second part about a 'blessing' to the world is about right. The problem is, it's easier to beat the entire Pakistan army than it is to evict Allah.
'How to evict Allah' might be a good title for a book...

@ duh_swami,
That's why India's intelligence agency RAW should do it's homework. Infiltrate pakistan find out where those nukes are stored and than blow them up in a pre emptive airstrike.The U.S.A. (CIA) could play a major role in helping India with the task of finding out where those nukes are.

I don't think that India should take shit from pakistan and be afraid of attacking pakistan just because they have nukes. If the problem is that the paki's have nukes than the solution is to somehow strip them from those nukes.

I am not saying that India might take out ALL of the paki nukes BUT India has a population of over 1 billion. Every war has it's casualities. If the price of completly erasing the treath of a islamic pakistan once and for all is to sacrifce the lives of f.e. tens of millions of Indian lives than in my opinion that's a price well worth it. That may sound hard but the price of destroying evil is not low.

I think that if India manages to destroy 90-95% of the paki nuclear arsenal than it is already halfway of winning the war.

All i am saying is that nobody should be blinded by the fact that pakistan has nukes.That is a fact that can be changed.

rammer ..

In any future irrational conflict between India and Pakistan , the morbidity and mortality will be very very high scale with potential to engulf larger areas. It is just not imaginable. Islam's "Kayamaat" will be there for all to see.

Any takers.

Required a Just , Thoughtful , Sane etc. Behaviour from all and everyone.

Let not the "MACHO ELEMENT" prevail.

It is not a 'video game'.

@kash225,
It would be foolish for India to sit around and do nothing while the pakistani muslim population is growing and growing. Also India's internal muslim population would be growing in numbers.
The sooner India locates the position of the paki nukes, takes them out with a pre emptive air/missile strike and than reconquer pakistan and whipe out every thing islamic in pakistan the better.
If India continues the way it does now than in the future Hindu's will become a persecuted minority in their own country. Right now millions of bangladeshi and paki muslims are migrating illegally to India. In parts of India there are already conflicts between local Hindus and immigrant muslims.
A war between Hindus and muslims and pakistan and India is inevitable. The longer India and the Hindus wait the smaller the chances get of winning the war. India NEEDS to make plans for a final war with pakistan in the near future. India's intelligence agency needs to do it's homework so that India would be succesfull in a war against pakistan.
