Pakistan suffered its own terror attacks recently so I don't believe(yet) that Pakistan is behind it. Too many rumors at the moment not enough facts.

Pakistan, as you know, is heavily factioned. There a pro-Bhuto supporters who want a more moderate system and there are hard-liners who want a more Islamic type religious government. It would not suprise me if some elements of the Intelligence Services wanted to overthrow the current government by destabilising the situation. However, what is happening now,
and what will happen when India has to retaliate against Pakistan, and retaliate they will, is not something the current Pakistani adminstration wants. Still Islamist terrorism in India has lots of connections to Pakistan,
at least prior to 2001 (9/11). As you know the two countries are still exchanging fire across their border in Kashmir on a daily basis.

Not to be nasty, but can you really not see the role of the US in world politics and in getting (indirectly) involved in actions that are to their benefit?

I cannot see it. The conflict between Pakistan and India stems from the British division of the territory into two countries. The disputed region of Kashmir is key to everything as each country believes the region belongs to them. The US does not have a direct interest in this. The US relies on a strong anti-Islamist government in Pakistan. At the same time, India is quite
capable of taking Pakistan on. They now both have nuclear weapons so it's not as easy but prior to that India being a far more populous country could
have probably won in a conventional war with Pakistan.

I like riding the Anti-US bandwagon as much as the next person but the US can not possibly benefit from this attack in anyway.

To believe that the US is behind this requires some premium grade tinfoil, no offense.

Since 1948 Pakistan is good friend of USA & west.
Without Pakis it was almost impossible to defeat USSR.
Pakis help USA to built relations with China, i think in 70s.
After 9/11 everyone knows what pakis did, no need to go in details.
Helping USA in 80s & recently, pakis paid havy price (still paying).
Today no other country suffering more terrorist attacks then Pakistan.
When India blame Pakistan or other way around, its not something really happen.
Its just both countrys dirty politics and corrupt politicians.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed.

Thewatcher is back?

Saw an expert on SKY saying he thinks one reason behind the attacks is too increase tensions between India and Pakistan thereby drawing Pakistan troops away from the tribal areas and toward the Indian border. Of course this could backfire badly and strengthen the moderates in Pakistan who have a lot of advice for the Indians about dealing with these extremists. Nothing brings two sides together like a common enemy

Hahahaha, yea i am also very Anti US and believe they master minded the trade centre attacks but i do not see how they are involved in this situation.

I fixed your post. It now reads correctly.

Let's not pretend we do not know who is really behind this. The dirty work may have been done by Pakistan or whoever else, but the 'superpower' is all too aware that China and India will be the economic leaders in 10 years' time and is desperate to stop that, or at the very least slow it down. So they got their lackeys to do some damage on their behalf.

What a load if unmitigated garbage. My word some people are thick.

Actually I also thought that at first, then decided she just rattling our cages - there's no ways someone could be that thick.

CNN is still the first network to blame Al queda, they claimed to have written confirmation!
All the other news networks are blaming other organisations but CNN is the only one to use Al queda everytime

as always!

Peter, your views are not objective and are very on sided. (Always attacking any anti US posts) The US is not as innocent as you make out.

Although what bluno says could be true, even if it was just funding, it is still a long shot

The only link the US has as far as I can see is by creating a war zone were terrorists can train by fighting along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border against the US and coalition in the "war on terror"TM.

 

[bigicy]

Weird thing though is that all the weapons that they confiscated, the Indian commando's fired into the air to empty the clips and all grenades they retrieved they immediately destroyed.

It is as if they are destroying evidence...

ROFL yes there were no extremists in that area training before 2001

Always the U.S's fault

I marvel (and not in a good way) at people who cannot give a sensible counterargument, but resort to insults when they disagree with someone.

Try posting the reasons why you think my view is incorrect. It would show maturity on your side.

Anything to blame the US

You yourself are not innocent either. You fail to bring a counter-argument as to why it is impossible.
