Pakistan describes India "a fit case" for pre-emptive strike
Pakistan Monday characterized India as a fit case for a pre-emptive strike as "India possesses weapons of mass destruction and has also kept chemical and biological weapons with neighboring countries." "And it's just chock full of Hindoos!" "India is a fit case for a pre-emptive strike," Pakistan Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told reporters in Islamabad. "India is taking unjustified advantage of our sincerity," Rashid said while responding to remarks by Indian Minister for External Affairs Yashwant Sinha, who described Pakistan as a "fit case" for an Iraqi style military action by the US because it has weapons of mass destruction, shelters terrorists and lacks democracy. Not to mention being chock full of Islamist nutbags... "If India thinks, and could do so, then we also have the right to go for a pre-emptive strike," the Pakistani Information Minister insisted. "We have evidence and arguments which make our case stronger," he said, claiming that India has committed massacres in Ahmed Abad town of Gujarat much like Serbia. Rashid said India possesses weapons of mass destruction and has also kept weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological weapons with its neighbors. He did not name the neighbors. He warned that if India took any action against Pakistan "it would be eliminated from the globe." I think this might have originally been drafted in Korean. As an afterthought, I wonder if, given the performance of the Iraqi "information minister," all the "information ministers" in the world shouldn't give serious thought to changing their titles.
