Strat Dec 31...reports. Anyone think that Lakhvi will NOT be extradited...I think it is inevitable.

Pakistan: Under Heavy Pressure From U.S.
December 31, 2008 | 2025 GMT
The United States is placing “tremendous pressure” on Pakistan to extradite Lashkar-e-Taiba’s operations commander, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, to India, Press Trust of India reported Dec. 31.

found an interesting quote :
Eugene Rostow put it more succinctly to Ephraim “Eppy” Evron, the minister at the Israeli embassy in Washington.“An attack from a state is an attack by a state,” he said.
in ref to terrorist attacks on Israel from syria.

Eugene V. (Victor Debs) Rostow (August 25, 1913 – November 25, 2002), influential legal scholar and public servant, was Dean of Yale Law School, and served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs under President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Israel took care of that state.

India is no position to do the same at this point in time.

It will NOT matter.

MOST of non-military productivity within Pakistan belongs to the Military! The military will force the civilians to get a loan from a world entity and then have the civilians pay it back.

The issue with Pakistan and its terrorism is the Pakistani Army and ISI. They MUST come under civilian rule OR the country needs to be broken up - specially Punjab and Sindh. No two ways about it.

For that I think India needs the help of other countries that have been reluctant to allow such a move. I have said this for a long time ........... the only way I see is that Pakistan (being foolish) will shoot herself in her foot often enough to kill herself. And, that is about what is happening.

Indian leaders - IMHO - are impotent - no matter which party.

The idea of bringing India under the Islamic umbrella will NOT go, so, we have to make it burn up slowly, not allow it to come to a boil. For that one reason alone Pakistan has to go.

I note that several people were killed earlier today in a terrorist attack in Guwahati, a major city that still, however temporarily, happens to be in Northeastern India.

There was not even a breath of concern about "response to terrorism:.

So let me write this Epitaph for the Indian Response to Terrorism Thread:
Mumble mumble Great Sardar
How I admire your Sarkar
So generous like Sonia Gandhi
In loving the terrorists in 'Pindi

NO DISRESPECT INTENDED AGAINST ANY ELECTED OPHISHIALS ONLEE! :eek: :eek:

Sardar’s Sarkar gone to Rice
Cooking in the kettle as she is
Pounding from the Israelis
Said she can’t take no more
Spilled to Hillary all that is
Not a word of India she said
Sardar cant make head or tail
Missed a period in a month
Lets abort Sonia mused
So be it Mam said Sardar
Not a thought of nation
Crossed his mind
Two hundred less a billion
Not a number that is big
to get him off his slumber!

US gives up softens stand on Pakistan

The US administration is now urging Pakistan to ensure that those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks are punished inside the country instead of being extradited to India, US sources told Dawn.

Next they will deliver F-16s and request the Pakistanis to reprimand the guilty.

Having said that - if Pakistan takes any action against this Lakhvi dude it will mean

1) Action on unkil's orders
2) An admission of possible guilt
3) Pakistan being cowed down by India/Unkil pressure

Pakistan will do nothing.

But it remains to be seen how much Lakhvi will be able to do after this.

However, Dawood is another matter. He can do things because he has Indians in his pocket, including Mumbai politicians and police.

Well, we know, from the example of Omar Saeed Sheikh, what the Pakis will do, if forced to act under duress.

Last we checked, Daniel Pearl remains unavenged yet, while Omar Sheikh is happily living it up on the Paki "death row", where the supply of cell phones and fresh goats is plentiful, and his death sentence appeal hearing has been postponed 500,000,000 times. This might indeed be a reason why Lakhvi is so willing to "sing" to his Paki mentors...

Durgesh's idea is indeed a classic and as Lalmullah points out, India has done a variation of this in the past. In fact that is why Pakistanis are so sh1t scared of India. The way Pakis want it is:

1) we are the Muslims, in fact the ashraf, the Mughals
2) You are the kafirs and aljaf scum
3) WE must rule YOU

In Durgesh's paradigm this dream becomes a terrible nightmare - like the movies in which horrible slimy monsters come out of toilet bowls and drains.

The Pakis hold up an imaginary version of pure Muslim and then compare it with Indian Muslim and then say "Oh shiite! We can't be this way." And they try and reject all the Indianess they see and now see where they have reached. just look at that buffoon Zaid Hamid.

For Pakis, what is worse than Hindus coming up is the Muslims they left behind somehow beginning to call the shots as Muslims. Pakistan's comfort an joy is only when they can accuse Hindus of fcuing Muslims. If Muslims in India are not fcued and do not appear fcued - Pakistan is toast. Indian Muslims MUST be raped, kiled, looted and suppressed and Pakistan wil fight Hindus for them. And after defeating Hindus - Pakistan will rule Indian Muslims too and show how they are pure and great.

Durgesh's idea is a classic and a great way to start that would be to build a temple to Shiva and just like the little sub-shrines you have in temples - build a shrine to Allah with a little statue of Mohammad bowing and paying obeisance to Allah, and the latter holding a benevolent hand over Mohammad's head, blessing and protecting him. where hindus can do a pooja and say a prayer. Blasphemy be damned.

lots of hindus do visit the dargah's of muslim holy men to offer flowers and light candles. and this is not just famous ones like ajmer but small scale holy men including one near my house
in gau whose name I cant recall now.
overall if left alone without wahabi machinations/external khujli/kangressi antics, hindus and muslims do get along pretty well...esp the ajlaf types who are mostly 100% converts and retain some hindu practises and cultures. the tfta imported ashraf to some extent are the ones who hark back to mughal rule, turkic glory and arab era.

Is Maximizing the ability to absorb others (religions, ethnicity...) into our fold the winning strategy for ruling and not merely surviving, then? That such strategy of mixing allows control of process is easy enough to see, but will it allow us to control outcome too? What happens to the Hindu in Durgesh's world is not necessarily what happens in Shiv's world, as articulated above, for example.

I would add that a brahmin be stationed in that Allah temple with sahasra nama of Mohamad (PBUH) be chanted and arrathi and mithai chadao regularly by the hour.

A variation of this Sai baba in Shiridi who was a Muslim fakir, with Brahmins co opting him.

I think, UPA govt has no desire or the will to take on Pakistan.In between , they just keep squeaking keeping the general election in mind.The electorate has shown that they donot mind getting butchered by pakis...
All in all , UPA has outsourced the Indian security,pride and right to defend to America in exchange for a nuclear deal.
After sixty years of independence, UPA govt declares India to be a colony of USA.One of the posts in some thread thread " The British never ruled India, they ruled people who ruled India". We can substitute Britain with USA and the equation remains the same. :mrgreen: Now in our national anthem , we shall sing " God Bless Americaaaaaaaa" Long Live the (US) President....

When our squealing PM regularly states that "War is not an option", and in the absence of any tough steps against the TSP, there is absolutely _NO_ reasons for Pakistan to address these issues.

This government has shown that it cannot do anything apart from getting down on their knees & begging everyone & anyone who goes past, be it Iran, China, Germany, USA, UK. And with the way things are going, our ballless government looks committed to add the names of states such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Somalia, Maldives to this list as well. While we're at it, get hold of a begging bowl too.

The country is being ruled by absolute jokers. These are the same people that refuse to treat our AF personnel at par with IAS/IPS looters. This country needs a revolution, running a democratic form of government in a country where people vote not for national interest but caste, religion & criminal record, is outrageously ridiculous. This nation needs a shephard figure to guide it's cattle like population, with a big stick that goes up their backside the moment they stray off the course. The power must go to a group of dedicated, young nationalistic leaders who are willing to use force not just at our external enemies but internal ones too. The people of India are more or less like a huge herd of cattle, who have been voting wolves into power, what they need is a group of shephards with a stick, to force them to walk in line or face punishment, freedom be damned.

This is a waste of time, Pakistan will just give Lakhvi a luxury prison cell and the court will just be a farce. Paki's are experts at deception. Paki govt will protect Lakhvi, I wouldn't be suprised if they release him to go see his family and LeT buddies every week even if he is convicted. You know yindu's are scared to give out their taped convo's coz it will reveal yindu intell apparatus. There won't be much evidence on the plate. Either way India lose. It is time to take action. Targetted assassinations are the only way forward. Strike fear into the heart of every jihadi.

Chidambaram to visit US with dossier on Mumbai terror
External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said India will share evidence regarding the role of Pakistan-based elements with the world community, which he feels should do more to ensure that perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks are brought to justice.

He has said that the international community has not done enough to build pressure on Pakistan in making it fulfill its commitments on not allowing its soil to be used to terrorism directed against India.

The evidence, the Indian Government has put together, includes the confession of the lone Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist held in Mumbai Terror attack Ajmal Amir Kasab.
Our PM has completed his goal for making us subservient to Unkil. What is MMS's grudge against India? In grab of economic growth, he is systematically destroying Indian nationalism?
1) Nuke deal
2) Non response to internal (naxals) and external (terrorist) security threats
3) Trying to surrender Cashmere

First of all I think it is way off target to pour scorn on PM Manmohan Singh. Come on folks. Look who is pulling the strings. If on occassion we witness the PM making some rather bold statements or even taking bold actions....these must be him acting out of his own conscions (ie rebelling against the string puller). But thats about it. He cannot do any more. The problem as I see it- it is not that the string puller is hell bent on making India a servile nation. On the contrary, the string puller is stuck and confused as to what action to be taken- stuck as the string puller is in the quagmire of the need to catter towards vote-bank politics, preservation of power and the dynastic aspiration and not least to sooth the seething anger amongst Indian public especially the well informed and opinionated public. The string puller probably realized the system inherited has been so weakened and continue to weaken that there is no painless short term solution to the terrorist situation. Every solution is painful.

See the catch phrase "well informed and opinionated". As far as I see it, there is no short term solution vis a vis terror attack in general and "26/11" in particular. The roots may be due to the unnaturally long period Congress held power at the center.
The Congressmen, thought they will be in power perpetually and hence, stream-lined the whole nation into a mold that well suited their power aspirations. Every aspect and facet of the country was disected where needed and patched where needed to build an India that suited the Congress ideological and factional needs. To undo that is not an easy task considering the huge mass of ignorance still prevalent in the country.

As I see it in the general scheme of things, the more educated and informed a person becomes, the more difficult it is to politically manipulate that person. Also, I see a trend towards right of center ideologically speaking among these same demographic segment. Thus it is pertinent and also extremely urgent that the good folks here on this forum and elsewhere who care for Mother India to contribute tirelessly in what small ways they can to help eradicate the mountain of ignorance and illiteracy that still is present in India.

The last thing a Congressman or even a political goonda want is an educated and informed Indian voter. The last thing a Mullah wants is an educated and informed Indian Muslim who has unchained himself from the leash held by the Mullah. As long as ignorance and illitaracy is present, it is easier for Bureauc-Rat Babus, politicos and Mullahs to manipulate and control. Help educate India and from there there will come a long term solution. Unfortunately there is no short term solution.

MMS is a 'South Asian' nationalist. Like westerners who view the region through a colonial lens: poverty, dirt, filth, crowded, religious wars etc; he does not make a distinction between India's struggle to build a civilized democracy based on its Hindu civilizatiolnal underpinnings, and TSP/Bangladesh's Islamo fascist attempt to undo whatever India has achieved. Thus, 'South Asia' is a black box whose internal dynamics need to be modeled to suit western interests. MMS is in synch with this worldview in which TSP's terrorism is part of a larger 'South Asia' problem. Witness TSP RAPE Ahmed Rashid's clever attempt to capitalize on this mindset by suggesting a 'regional' approach to Afganisthan. Hilary Clinto will furiously pursue this theme, and in MMS she will find a willing collaborater. No wonder MMS is the darling of every western leader/intellectual from Bush to Sarkozy to Brown to Patten

See this editorial in Dawn, it requests Pak govt tocome out of denial mode:

That said, there is an urgent need for Pakistan to decide on the path the country must choose from this point onwards. Reports in the US press that at least one alleged Lashkar-i-Taiba operative currently in Pakistani custody has confessed to his involvement in the Mumbai carnage have not been denied at the highest levels in Islamabad. Foot-dragging will get us nowhere, and we need to explain what headway, if any, has been made in our own investigations. Full disclosure, of course, cannot be expected in a matter as sensitive as the case in hand until every avenue of inquiry has been explored. A progress report, though, is the need of the hour. Otherwise Islamabad will not be in a position to counter criticism that facts are being withheld and we will continue to be deemed guilty until proven innocent. It is said that the US has passed on intercepts of telephone conversations between Lashkar-i-Taiba commanders and militants holed up in a hotel in Mumbai. Given Pakistan’s intelligence resources, it is within the realm of possibility to verify the authenticity or otherwise of these alleged communications. The sooner this is done, and the facts placed before the nation and the world, the better. And if any Lashkar-i-Taiba commander has admitted to his role in the carnage, that confession too should be acknowledged. New Delhi, for its part, needs to provide Islamabad with the ‘evidence’ it claims to have found linking the Lashkar-i-Taiba to the deadly assault.

There will be no loss of face if it turns out that Pakistanis were among the militants who attacked Mumbai. Egged on by India, much of the world believes that anyway. We need to act decisively against militants and terrorists operating from Pakistani soil, not on account of pressure exerted by India or America but because therein lies our own salvation. The enemy within is a far greater threat than any external foe.

I request the BRFites to start a new thread on "small ways to building a progressive and strong India by a common man" .The small ways ,we can contribute to take our society and country ahead on the road to development as we can not leave it to these traitor politicians and bureaucrats who are just busy filling their coffers.
We need ideas.This will be much better than ranting here.Let us be proactive. :)

Reports in the US press that at least one alleged Lashkar-i-Taiba operative currently in Pakistani custody has confessed to his involvement in the Mumbai carnage have not been denied at the highest levels in Islamabad. Foot-dragging will get us nowhere,
They will kill that guy for sure. And claim justice was done.

These Pakis are reinventing the wild west. And applying to Islam.
