#2 Frank: "Distraction" come to mind?

grom just as Frank said, this incident seems manufactured [like you said also] by Pakistan BUT what is perplexing is that why the HELL should Pakistan try and distract when India's Military seems and is so much more robust than Pakistan's Military?

The F'ing inscrutable muslim mind perhaps?

#4 It is sometimes claimed that Pakistan is afraid of India and therefore requires military assistance. The historical record shows otherwise. Pakistan has started the wars between itself and India, including the present jihad by ISI proxies.

These are not the acts of a state afraid of the Indian military.

The Pak military doctrine of offensive-defense relies on external balancers - the US, UN etc to come to its aid by demanding a quick ceasefire and imposing an oil and arms embargo that limit Indian effectiveness.

#5 I'm not sure "afraid" or not plays into this. The Pak military is proven incompetent at every turn, and seems to periodically rouse itself to suffer another decadal loss. Time's up for another distractional loss of Pak manhood in the name of keeping same reputation. It makes sense ...to a Paki
