Partly Facetious: Mumbai attack led to so many resignations
"So who is to blame for the Lahore commando action?"
"Not a terrorist attack?"
"To me, it was a commando action first and foremost."
"We should ask Musharraf about it. Wasnt he proud of his commando credentials?"
"he was, but the results of his commando action were not successful. Kargil if you recall..."
"I was referring to his commando action to take over the government."
"That was different. He had probable cause I hear..."
"But the probable cause could not possibly extend for eight years."
"Ah yes that little matter."
"Anyway, the fact of the matter is that there are allegations that Rehman Malik and Salmaan Taseer were more engaged in breaking the PML (N) legislators at the time than dealing with a threat that was clearly identified in the files of the CID and the police."
"Political animals will remain political animals."
"Rehman Malik is a former bureaucrat, he was in the FIA I believe and Salmaan Taseer was an accountant and entrepreneur of sorts."
"They have stronger political ambitions than anything at the present moment in time."
"So that set the stage you reckon?"
"Yes, to be more exact that is the stage."
"But the PML (N) has clearly shown a majority in the Punjab."
"Ah, but there was this terrorist attack in Lahore and..."
"Surely they are not going to use that as an excuse for Governor Rule."
"Why not?"
"So not only did they not take the warning of an impending attack seriously because they were busy changing police officials in the aftermath of the Shahbaz Sharif dismissal but also will use the attack that they did nothing to forestall as the raison detre of Governor Rule?"
"I would think so"
"Impeccable logic dont you think!"
"Dont be facetious - the logic reflects the IQ level of your politicians."
"In India, the Mumbai attack led to so many resignations and..."
"Really. And while in Mumbai they began saying it was Pakistan all along our Governor says it was the same people who perpetrated the Mumabi attakcs and Rehman Malik admitted that those attacks were carried out by Pakistanis so by inference..."
"When foreign policy is made elsewhere, you cant throw insults to anyone but your domestic political opponents."
"Indeed."
