| DegradingÂ… but do we have a choice? |

| by Ayaz Amir Is the Lashkar-i-Taiba -- or the organisation it has morphed into, Jamaat-ud-Dawa -- guilty of terrorism? Did it have a hand in the Mumbai attacks? India says it has proof and the United States is all but openly supporting India's point of view. Pakistan has received warnings and veiled threats. There is also the joke of someone pretending to be the Indian foreign minister and calling up President Zardari and it is a measure of the incompetence prevailing in Islamabad that this hoax call was taken seriously. But warnings and threats apart Pakistan has received no definitive proof. Yet such is the pressure mounted on Pakistan that to appease Washington and New Delhi it has started moving against the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, some of whose offices in Kashmir and Hazara have been raided and some of its officials taken into custody. |

| #5 But warnings and threats apart Pakistan has received no definitive proof. How about the fact that all 10 assasins are from Pakistan? How about the commemorative photos (see above) taken in Pakistan? How about the phone calls made to LiT officials just before they got into their boats? (Recorded on the cell phone recovered on the drifting ship) How about Pakistan's Naval Commandos training the 10 murderers and 490 of their closest friends? The degrading thing is having a military that makes enemies out of potential friends. |

| #4 You know what makes you look like a criminal? Committing crimes. Boy, howdy, does that look bad. Especially when your homies take commemorative photos & the papers get ahold of 'em. |

| #2 It is 3?4 Iran, and the rest ISI sees in idiot ad hoc groups. Mumbia crew used bhetter equipment than I would have, but they were stupid and made calls. Pakistan, you are on the line today. Tomorrow, you may be OBAMAS BITCH. |

| #1 Money quote: "There is nothing in Pakistan, not even the 'jihadi' organisations like the Lashkar dedicated to vague causes, to compare with the courage and organisation of Hizbollah. And there is no leader in Pakistan, or indeed across the embattled world of Islam -- a religion which we disgrace by our incompetence and cowardice -- to match Hasan Nasrullah." Summary: Dead Indians and Americans rock! But our leaders are idiots... we (Pakies) should work a two-faced game and just play those hillbilly Waziris against the dumb Yanks while sitting out any actual combat (or helping anyone). My analysis: All of Pakistan needs to be nuked into a day-glow parking lot, if not by the Indians, then by us 'merkins. |
