US senators ask India to reduce troops on Pak border
2009-05-16
It's Kerry again. The man is dangerous.
WASHINGTON: Top US senators on Friday underscored the need for India and Pakistan to reduce troops on the Kashmir border to allow Islamabad to fight the Taliban on its Afghan border more effectively. "Once the elections in India are over and completed, I believe the dynamics will shift so that there can be some redeployment on both sides. That will help the Pakistanis to begin to deal with this (extremist threat) themselves," Senator John Kerry said.
Where was he standing when he said that? Somewhere safe, I imagine.
The lawmaker called for empowering Pakistan to take actions itself against the Taliban.
Because that's all that's lacking, by gum, a lack of empowerment!
Senator Richard Lugar shared the view on border troop reduction and felt there could be lesser use of American firepower to take out the Taliban.
Feeling sorry for them? Or have you been around Kerry too long?
Sharing feelings -- I used to do that in kindergarten, but then I moved on to thinking for myself based on actual facts. Lets all hope really hard that the honourable senators someday are able to do the same.

#1  Infiltration is actually up along the LOC.
If the Indians reduce troops, more terrorists will get in and more people will die.
