Pak daily: US heightened Pak-India tensions
2008-12-30
Many Pakistanis accuse the US of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of last month's Mumbai siege, a report says.
I confess. It wuz me.
Do we have an tension escalation meter?
"No one in Pakistan trusts the Americans and their moves... they put their weight behind Delhi only to test our nerves," a senior official told The News daily.
"It couldn't possibly be our fault."
The daily added that many people also question the role of the outgoing Bush administration as its officials 'used their influence in favor of the Indians'.

The report comes after US, British and Indian officials blamed Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) for the Mumbai siege, which have provoked a sharp rise in hostile rhetoric between the nuclear-armed neighbors. US and UK intelligence officials have said that the LeT commander, Zaki al- Rahman Lakhvi, was the mastermind behind the Mumbai terror attacks.

The US backs India, accusing Pakistan of providing a safe haven for Taliban, al-Qaeda and other terror groups - an excuse US forces in Afghanistan use to pound Pakistani border towns.
We're the Great Satan, we don't need an excuse ...
However, the newspaper hoped that direct high level contacts can ease the tensions between the two neighboring countries following the November Mumbai terror attacks that killed at least 179 people.

"The Pakistani establishment now believes that the 'time of war' with India is over and the recent telephone contacts at the highest military level have led to the reduction in tensions generated in the wake of troop build-up (between both sides) following the Mumbai terror attacks," the daily concluded.

#3  Well, ya know, you just might be right. But then, maybe we've just come to the conclusion that all you are is sh$$ in a bag, and lying and deceitful at that. Maybe we're tired of the backstabbing, the lying, the cheating, the saying one thing and doing just the opposite, and we've discovered all those bad things the Indians were saying about you were fundamentally true. Maybe, just MAYBE, we've discovered we like them and their attitudes more than we do the constant islamic spew from phakestan. You know all those F-16s we sold you? They come with a self-destruct switch. All that ammo? Same deal. Maybe we'll just pull back into Afghanistan and let you die in your own filth and stupidity.

And maybe we'll decide that we won't stop India this time when they kick your butt all the way to Tehran.

#1  They never accept the fault for anything.
Try not murdering the Indians, that would also prevent tensions from rising.
