Pakistan: "The lunatics are running the asylum"
The above is a comment made on 'Times Now' TV. It concerns the apparent attack on a Sri Lankan cricket team, in a bus which was supposed to be bullet proof but was not, apparently by four groups of at least 12-14 terrorists, armed with Kalashnikovs, grenades and rocket launchers. They seem to have been well prepared and militarily capable, many shots were fired, yet there were apparently only 8 bullet holes in the bus, all of which seem to have come from shots from within the bus and none of the cricketers seem to have been seriously injured. Many people see the lack of a lot of serious injuries as being almost a miracle and no rockets seem to have hit the bus. The whole matter was recorded on TV, almost as if the TV crews had been waiting to do so. Probably no such incident has ever been recorded for TV in so much detail. All the terrorists so far seem to have escaped.
IMO: Makes you think of Pancho Vila. At least the Federales were doing their job in his case.
The obvious possibility is that it was another 'put up' job by people in the ISI, seeking more political control.
IMO: Is Obama just another variety of Dinkins ? He has already offered something like a billion dollars of aid to Gaza, which presumably will be used often enough to buy materiel like rocket launchers etc. and now he probably proposes to aid Pakistan !!! Certainly, existing recipients of US aid in Lahore, with their many private swimming pools and air conditioning, whilst the yokels starve, probably do not like the recent attack in Lahore at all, but will doubtless feel that the price of yet more US aid is worth it. I sincerely hope that Obama is in fact not another Dinkins type and the US authorities pull up their socks and try not to continue to buy their way out of trouble by paying off the wrong people.
