I would be as critical and bitter about 26/11. Which I still am.
And there are key differences. The main thing being this time around the admin acted at speed and not at leisure. That you refuse to see it & insist otherwise despite tons of evidence to the contrary, speaks volumes.
I have no political leanings. Except what is right for India. Your constant reference to them, while I am quoting a 56 inch statement which was broadcast, and you cannot deny that happened.
Sir your loathing of the present admin is no secret. You are welcome to it and everyone has their own choices, but your lack of objectivity is glaring, that's the only part that I am countering because thanks to it, you are running down what was otherwise, a rare event in Indian military ops, decisive politico-military synergy.
You are ignoring each & every bit of evidence that states the current admin acted as it should have, to the best of its knowledge & with speed. Here is what is ironic. You quote "56 inch again and again" but that's fine. My pointing out that you are fixated on a political slant using this rhetoric...no, that's a constant reference.
Psychologically, the comparison of beating one's wife? Tells me a lot about you. I would never ever even think of such a topic. It needs very little intellect to choose a better example.
Oh come on.. more rhetoric.
"Tells me a lot about you indeed". What does it tell you? That I know the english language and something known as a metaphor and chose the most direct example of a loaded question which even Wiki cites as the first and only example?
Have you stopped beating one's wife is
a common phrase which is used to depict a question which is preset up to fail. It is equal to "heads I win, tails you lose".
That's the kind of question you asked.
You set up a question - "is it wrong to ask for higher standards" deliberately ignoring whatever examples existed of Indian forces getting off better (this time around) than all their worldwide peers (and the SOBs who actually had this attack done) & saying "yes, no" agree with my set up question.
When that was pointed out. We should have even higher standards.
I pointed out how fixed that question was.
You come back with this "I would never even think of such a topic" and take all sorts of umbrage.
Please tell us what you psychologically think of Wikipedia.

A common way out of this argument is not to answer the question (e.g. with a simple 'yes' or 'no'), but to challenge the assumption behind the question. To use an earlier example, a good response to the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" would be "I have never beaten my wife".[5] This removes the ambiguity of the expected response, therefore nullifying the tactic. However, the askers of said questions have learned to get around this tactic by accusing the one who answers of dodging the question.
And guess what you did?
you have not answered the points I have raised
You are asking loaded questions, ignoring the evidence that contradicts your statements (ah we have higher standards than xyz, is that wrong), bringing up all sorts of rhetoric and then taking umbrage when I counter your rhetoric stating it is tiresome.
No more discussions with you.
I only hope your Bhakthi helps India.
Ah. So now we see the other
usual jibe that we have folks of the INC/AAP dispensation make - "you bhakts" whenever anyone contradicts their points... and of course, its plausibly deniable as the term is bhakthi or devotion which can be spun any which way.
Mucho ironic given we are talking of how plausibly deniable individuals attacked an Indian installation.
I still compliment you on your technical posts.
Thanks much!
