Troops Moved to Border — How long will it be before these two countries lob nukes at each other? Not a good situation.

Pakistani officials say the Pakistani army is moving troops toward India amid tensions with New Delhi over last month’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

Witnesses say hundreds of troops are moving eastward from Pakistan’s northwestern border with Afghanistan, where soldiers have been fighting al-Qaida and Taliban militants.

The army has not officially confirmed the redeployment. But defense officials say the military has canceled leave for members of the armed forces, and put both the army and air force on high alert.

India has not immediately commented on the Pakistani troop movements. But India’s Foreign Ministry Friday advised Indian citizens that it is “unsafe for them to travel or be in Pakistan” as tensions rise between the two countries.

    Well, lets just hope the leadership of India and Pakistan aren’t the brain dead cowboys the Bush Cabal proved themselves to be. The one bright hope is that the Jingoistic Impulses are only amplified by culture, language, religion, and history.

    Thank God no side has an direct economic interest in securing oil or other natural resource of such value.

  2. Special Ed says:

    Uh oh, we’ll have to move the call centers back. It doesn’t look good for Shirley, Suzy and Bobby.

  3. brett says:

    a little bit of population reduction can’t hurt, eh?

  4. Mister Mustard says:

    Perhaps India or Pakistan lobbed a nuke at dvorak dot org slash blog, and that’s why it’s down so often.

    # 5–Pedro==I don’t see any question mark or other indication of an interrogatory. I make declarative affirmative sentences.

    I am positing a comparison between Third World Countries and the USA asserting that the USA is more corrupt and its actions are more carnal.

    Certainly, a sad “state” of affairs.

  6. Max Bell says:

    Hmm. Late Christmas? Pakis whack Bangalore with a couple of warheads, Murugan turns Pakistan into an ashtray and ends the GWOT.

    = Yay, IMO.

    Bobbolina, you should know that no one can understand your postings with that obscure punctuation you use.

    Better back up your data far away from the Middle East/Asia/Europe!

    Bangalore, Karnataka will glow in the dark for 10,000 years.

  9. hhopper says:

    If they start nuking each other, the economy is not going to seem like such a problem.

  10. Ah_Yea says:

    Gee, I wonder why we don’t hear about Hindus sneaking into Pakistan and shooting up the place? (sarcasm)

  11. ArianeB says:

    A depression plus an energy shortage has led to a weak government in Pakistan. Its been weak since Musharref left less than a year ago.

    How do you make your government strong again? According to the neo-cons, you go to war.

  12. Alf says:

    The picture is of Krisha the charioteer and Arguna the warrior. The myth has it that this part of the epic tale the Mahabharata was cognized by a seer and never really happened other than in the seer’s own consciousness.

    Hopefully we will be lucky and no war will happen between Pakistan and India.

    I am not from India.

  13. bobbo says:

    #14–Pedro==I won’t argue with anyone wanting to assert that some third world country is more corrupt than the USA. In such cases, it just makes me proud to be an American, bringing the best democracy money can buy to the rest of the world and what not.

    #8–Mustard==please identify any punctuation in this thread that makes my meaning unclear. Even Pedro understood me perfectly, so, unless you want to exercise your brain cells just a bit more rather than exercising your bias, STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    >>please identify any punctuation in this
    >>thread that makes my meaning unclear.

    Double equals signs and Germanic capitalization for two.

    And ‘dro did not “understand” you “perfectly”. What he said was “Anywhoo, I got the point“. Words have meaning, Bobo. Do you have the same problem interpreting others’ utterances that you do making your own? Hmmm?

  15. Mark Derail says:

    Think back to how the Muslim clerics, in that region of the FU’ed world, forbade giving vaccines because they are evil mind-control things from the West.

    The recent Mumbai attacks are part of a greater plan. Get two sensible governments to war, then easily impose Shariah law and take over what’s left of the Pakistan.

  16. gquaglia says:

    I say go right ahead, nuke each other. Pakistan is a hot bed of Islamic fundamentalism, so a few less of them in the world isn’t a bad thing. The only downside is who will be left to run all the Dunkin Donuts and 7-11s in the world.

  17. bobbo says:

    #19–Pedro==ha, ha. Just about everything Mustard is concerned about is non-existent. I never realized before this Merry Giftmas what an existential philosopher he was.

    What I like about nuclear war is that any sizeable exchange will throw a lot of dirt up into the air providing a mini-nuclear winter. Just the ticker for global warming.

    Imagine the 1-2 punch if not the 2-3 or 3-4 punch==fewer people, cooler weather.

    Alah will provide.

    >>existant grammar faux pas.

    Oooh, ‘dro! Tu parles Français? Je n’en savais pas!! Formidable!

    As to the “non-existant grammar faux pas”, if you don’t see the muff-ups (logical, grammatical, spelling, syntactical, etc.) in Bobo’s postings, perhaps you should take my advice and STFU. Consider it un regalito navideño.

    >>I never realized before this Merry Giftmas
    >>what an existential philosopher he was.

    Like a mewling infant who never develops, Bobo, you remain stuck in the first stage of ignorance.

    Why bother? Muslims kill muslims…

    Why the Gods on the chariot? I thought replication of images was forbidden in Islam..

  21. Jopa says:

    I hope india obliterates pakistan.
    No one needs these 150M radical muslims…

    Nuke the bastards!

    YEAH!

    Let’s make McDonalds parking space out of it!

  23. Bob says:

    No need to worry. The Obamasiah will go over their and talk to them, and then they will lay down their weapons and all will be well. Once they understand everything is Bush’s fault, and that he will no longer be in office after January I am sure they will begin to get along.

  24. gquaglia says:

    #23 India is not a Muslim country. They are mostly Hindus.

  25. #27 – Bob

    It’s entirely likely. Amazing how 8 years of a retard mutant as POTUS can lead to the widespread belief that a President of the United States can’t do anything other than fuck things up or screw somebody to further his hidden agenda.

    Now, we’ve got change.

    ¡Si, se puede!

  26. deowll says:

    And just to make things extra nice both sides have nukes.

    I’m not sure that either side is going to give a rat’s bleep about what Americans think.

    Why should they?

  27. amodedoma says:

    Somebody know why the US has helped that little asshole dictator wanna-be Musharraf? Apart from the fact that he’s Bush’s little buddy on the war on terror. Yeah like he had nothing to do with Bhutto’s assasination… Sheesh, when will the USA learn to pick their friends more carefully!

  28. bobbo says:

    #31–amodedoma==Musharraf stepped down about 4-5 months ago. Are you talking about “back then” or the new guy? And yes, being the President of the Country that “contains” Bin Laden, Al Quada, Enemies of India, is certainly someone the USA should figure out how to get on the right side of. Are you being silly again, or just “out of it?”

  29. Special Ed says:

    I’m on the side of the Pack of Stanleys.

  30. Selvy says:

    When it comes to working in that area, there are no real good choices for a democratic government to work with. As it’s been written, the Pakistan’s intelligence service funded and devloped various terrorist groups for use against India in the disputed Kashmir region. They used the situation in Afghanistan in order to prepare their own people for combat, thus the pre-9/11 love fest with the Taliban. Even after we gave Musharref the option of helping us or being bombed into the stone age he played both sides, with the unfortunate truth that that there was (and still isn’t) a viable alternative. Even if Pakistan’s government was rolling in currency the military/IS would still be only under partial control of the Pakistani president. Musharref was only the most visible of their problems.
