Jim Sinclair’s Commentary

When you read articles like this keep in mind who is the most powerful man on the planet. The answer is the captain of a nuclear launch submarine. He has the power to incinerate nations.

Now think about how India has two Akula type 2 nuclear missile launching (28 per ship) submarines, and Pakistan has mobile nuclear launch vehicles with very long legged missiles.

I would say that is as serious as it gets.

After having a home in India and having lived there for a total of three years in short stays I can assure when it hits the fan the police with the guns and uniforms and the lights turned off are the most dangerous people there in any situation.

India may still strike at Pakistan: US report

NEW DELHI: India may have ruled out the military option against Pakistan in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks but the international intelligence community continues to believe that strikes in PoK and elsewhere could still happen.

Global intelligence service Stratfor, in its latest report, said, "Indian military operations against targets in Pakistan have in fact been prepared and await the signal to go forward."

It added, "These most likely would take the form of unilateral precision strikes inside Pakistan-administered Kashmir, along with special forces action on the ground in Pakistan proper."

The private sector intelligence service said that unlike the massive movements of 2002 during Operation Parakram, India’s preparations this time were more under the radar and not visible to the world at large. Its only indication was the fact that the Border Security Force (BSF) has been put on high alert on the western sector as well as the eastern sector — this paramilitary force’s main mandate would be to prevent infiltration.

"Sources have indicated to Stratfor that New Delhi is going through the diplomatic motions in order to give Pakistan the opportunity to take care of the militant problem itself — but the Indians know that Islamabad has neither the will nor the capability to address their concerns," Stratfor said.
