#2 Pak news report:

India's army said it traded fire with Pakistani troops in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir. One Indian and at least three Pakistani soldiers were killed. Indian army spokesman Brig. Gopala Krishnan Murali claimed Pakistani troops crossed into occupied Kashmir in a brazen violation of cease-fire and opened fire on Monday in Kupwara sector of the region. One Indian soldier was killed and three or four Pakistani soldiers were killed in retaliatory fire.

#4 Next time you whack the 15 Paks up front

The Paks are looking for just such an excuse to avoid a counterinsurgency campaign in the west.

#5 I thought that the old guy had been superceded by the new and improved version of the Kumbaya Kid.

The most regretable moment in my life was voting for Schmucker Peanut in '76. He sounded pretty good, what with 0 based budgeting etc.

Luckily I could make up for my lapse in '80 and vote for Saint Ronnie.

#6 But John, if it isn't this excuse it will be another. The Paks won't go to Wazoo regardless. If I were the Indian commander along the LoC, I'd be damned if I let my own people die so as not to provide an 'excuse'.

#7 Pakistan is getting closer to a failed state every month.
