#3 Per another post. Going sterile is a basic action for an operation like this and it was not done. The ISI is really incompetent if they were involved and left a trail like this.

To Be Determined.

#4 Dealing with Pakistan is like making deals with someone with multiple personality disorder. You can make a deal with Ahmed, but Omar sez over my dead body.

The problem is that Pakistan cannot control their vast network of Jihadi nutcases. They have nukes, so you just cannot deal with them in a normal kinetic basis.

I would recommend that India again reread Sun Tzu's The Art of War, and with good intelligence, formulate a plan to neutralize this POS country. Who knows? The Big O may want to joint venture this one. That's a long shot, though. Don't count on it.

#5 I recall reading some discussions recently on the Indian Air Force joint training exercises - generally quite favorable (though not perfect): if true then I think the Pakistani AF would be in serious trouble in a war with India; if not, then we may have been doing some unusually competent propaganda work. Well, Pakistan, do you feel lucky?

#6 I'm sure the ISI is quite interested in Indian intelligence sources and methods, in their forensics etc... the better to plan the next terror operation

#7 Kinda like the ISI chief being in Washington DC to gauge reactions during the 911 attacks. That is, after wiring $100,000 to the attackers.

Pak to send representative instead of ISI chief to India

Pakistan on Friday did an about turn on sending the Inter-Services Intelligence chief to India in connection with the probe into the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, saying a representative of the spy agency would be sent instead of him.

The decision was made at a late night meeting between President Asif Ali Zardari and Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the chief of the powerful army. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani also joined the meeting, which was held at the presidency and continued past 130am (local time).

"A representative of the ISI will visit India, instead of its Director General Lt Gen Shuja Pasha, to help in investigating the Mumbai terrorism incident," a spokesman for the Prime Minister's House said.
