His rushing to Clinton darbar and his abject acceptance of withdrawal of Army/Mujahadeen from Kargil heights made the masses feel ashamed of their existence. Definitely, we would have had to withdraw from Kargil, but like this? Shame.



Yatha Raja Tatha Praja...

For years Pakis thought(or told us) Nawaz flew to Washington, uninvited and on a 4th of July, so Clinton could beg him to let India off the hook...all this time, not more than a fraction of pakis asked: If India was on the ropes, why was Nawaz in DC instead of Vajpayee?

Nice article Mr Shah.

It was Mush(y) that was the chief villan of the Kargil war. It was a commando operation, through & through. I`m sure he was central in the planning of that bothched ``operation``.

Even when the whole world knew the truth...he goes to the international media & says....with a straight face....that there was absolutely NO involvement of the Pakistani army....except ``moral & logistical support``..

I mean c`maaan....

Then you wonder why even your ``all weather`` friend, China tells Pak to ``get real``?!...
Foggetabout your INCREDIBLE ummah....they are more interested in protecting their own asses rather than support esoteric concepts like ``kashmir``...

{{Definitely, we would have had to withdraw from Kargil, but like this? Shame.}}

How ELSE could Pakistan withdraw?
When you are caught RED HANDED with your hand in the cookie jar, & then LIE like a bloomin` idiot... to ``save FACE`` in front of your naieve junta....ultimately you have to withdraw...with your face red....& you dont even claim the dead bodies of your own jawans!...

Seems to me ``chivalry`` is confined only to your fellow Generals & other sychophantic ``top brass``....

but Mushy has NO SHAME....He takes over his beloved country with ``all humility & sincerity``.......yup!...only when his noble butt`s on the line....

Moral of the story: ``better to have the world famous milt-ry to loot my beloved country than a slimy politician``

Too many times the world famous Paki miltry has tried to ``fight`` external aggressors (read India)....& each and every time they have recieved a ``bloody nose``.......& each & every time they have declared ``glorious victory`` to their junta....& each & every time the junta actually BUYS that bs...

Gee... I wonder when FIELD MARSHALL Ayub Khan said ``democracy is not suited to the genious of the Pakistani people``.....I wonder if he was trying to redefine the word ``genious``...rather than the word ``democracy``...

Let me point the ways your mashoor ``patriotic world famous`` propaganda machine on Chowk & in your media operates:

1) It was a BRILLIANT ``tactical`` move...& it would have suceeded if that dope NS hadnt gone to Washington...hat in hand!

2)For every 1 of our jawans that we lost ...Indians probably lost 200...so the victory was ours!

3)Our jawans are GREAT (1 of them equals 5 cowardly Indians...or was it 10?)...but our Generals SUCK...thats why we lose...Isi baat per hamara vatan hamesha mar kha jaata hai...Wah!!!...that ought to get the NOBEL PRIZE in excuse-making

4)We INTERNATIONALISED the Kashmir cause....so the ``moral victory`` is OURS!!!

5) Since each & every time we have frustrated our enemy from ``occupying`` our country...so...we have WON each & every war....

O jee sunte hooo?!...helllooooo...is anybody IN THERE?...
Just what kind of buttheads do you think we Indians are ? What kind of a dope would want to occupy a country that that cant even frikking rule itself in these 58 odd years?....

When a BJP Vajpayee goes and lays a wreath at the minar-e-Pakistan ....it means EVEN the frikking right wing hindoos have accepted Pakistan is a REALITY....

& then these ``Islam-ke-mashoor-pehelwans``...amply aided & abetted by your incredible army.... stab him in the back with Kargil...
...then CEO Mushy comes to Agra...puffs his chest like the ``warrior`` that he is & makes DEMANDS.....Paki public applauds him for ``standing up to Indians``...

Yo! win a frikkin war first, you moron...THEN make demands....you aint walking on any frikkin moral high ground...goddamned hypocrite army...maybe you can fool naieve Paki junta with this kind of perfidy, but banias arent as dumb as they look...

Yeah yeah... the feudals & the politicians & the beaurocracy & the abdul on the street have no qualms about looting Pakistan....even self-awowed ``muslims`` like His Holiness General-Sahib Zia-ul-Huq & his coterie of sychophants have looted the country...

The WORST offender in Pakistan is the goddamned army....never in the history of a nation has a miltary lost so many wars & yet prouder than ever about its INCREDIBLE prowess, than the Pakistani milt-ry.....Yup! it knows how to apply the danda to its own people....this institution has been ``world famous`` for buthcering its own citizens, most of them fellow muslims....citizens of Pakistan
to boot!!

Pakistan doesnt have a military....it has a goddamned MAFIA!!!

When I say that history reveals that each successive Pakistani govt has ....over the last 58 years....SPAT upon the face of Mohammed Ali Jinnah....worse than that ....spat upon the face of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh)...go ahead & say ``its in poor taste``...

Thank YOU Jinnah...for creating Pakistan....lets just be neighbors OK...you people aint better off for s*it......

#1: Nawaz was famous for his lack of interest in details..it used to take him ages to deal with paperwork and even longer to understand complex issues..

``He literally melted in the face of Kargil War (which PTV trumpeted as a skirmish). He handled it in the stupidest and most foolish way possible. His rushing to Clinton darbar and his abject acceptance of withdrawal of Army/Mujahadeen from Kargil heights made the masses feel ashamed of their existence. Definitely, we would have had to withdraw from Kargil, but like this? Shame. ``

what is the understanding in pak about kargil? I personally think it was mushys act, NS was caught unawares. What do you think?
