‘Don't Forget Kargil's Lesson', Musharraf Warns India
[Tribune.PK] ISLAMABAD: All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) Chairman Pervez Musharraf has cautioned New Delhi against war rhetoric against Pakistan, saying that India should not forget what the lesson taught to them in the Kargil war.
I don't know how he chooses to remember the darn thing, but all we learnt was - don't let 'em just leave even when they're running.
The former military ruler was addressing party workers on the APML's founding day in Islamabad via telephone from Dubai on Sunday.

He said that Pakistan's desire for peace should not be seen as weakness, adding,"The Pakistan armed forces are ready to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure."

Musharraf slammed Indian politicians and military commanders for ramping up tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours with their "irresponsible statements."

He referred to the battle of Kargil back in 1999, in which he claimed India was compelled to seek US mediation to end the conflict.

The former president said Kashmir is in the blood of Pakistani nation. "We will continue to stand by our Kashmiri brethren no matter what."

#1 Meh. According to Wikipedia, Pakistan lost the Kargil Conflict. And they lost it in only two months, so I’m not sure what threat the former president of Pakistan intends to communicate here — “Don’t beat the pants off us again”?

#2 I'm too lazy to look it up, but didn't India beat Pakistan several times? Perhaps Dron can enlighten us,if he's up.

#3 I believe India beat Pakistan every time, Rambler, and once in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, as well.
