Karan, If Musharraf is indeed such a hero and Pakistan has achieved a resounding victory as he claims, then why did he not allow the Commission (something like the Justice Hamdoor Rehman commission for 1971) to be set up for reviewing the Kargil War?

Let us take the book of Musahrraf which I used as an example. Can one call Musharraf a clot without debunking him with facts?

I know no body allowed intrusion deliberatley but a laid back attitude was developed over the years among all rank and files. I agree that extensive patroling wa...
