Troops Moved to Border — How long will it be before these two countries lob nukes at each other? Not a good situation.
Pakistani officials say the Pakistani army is moving troops toward India amid tensions with New Delhi over last month’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
Witnesses say hundreds of troops are moving eastward from Pakistan’s northwestern border with Afghanistan, where soldiers have been fighting al-Qaida and Taliban militants.
The army has not officially confirmed the redeployment. But defense officials say the military has canceled leave for members of the armed forces, and put both the army and air force on high alert.
India has not immediately commented on the Pakistani troop movements. But India’s Foreign Ministry Friday advised Indian citizens that it is “unsafe for them to travel or be in Pakistan” as tensions rise between the two countries.

Oooh, ‘dro! Tu parles Français? Je n’en savais pas!! Formidable!
As to the “non-existant grammar faux pas”, if you don’t see the muff-ups (logical, grammatical, spelling, syntactical, etc.) in Bobo’s postings, perhaps you should take my advice and STFU. Consider it un regalito navideño.

Like a mewling infant who never develops, Bobo, you remain stuck in the first stage of ignorance.
Why bother? Muslims kill muslims…
Why the Gods on the chariot? I thought replication of images was forbidden in Islam..
#21 And you’re worried about Bobbo’s problems. I think Xmas came & went already for you to keep on giving ‘em Xmas gifts
I hope india obliterates pakistan.
No one needs these 150M radical muslims…
Nuke the bastards!

YEAH!
Let’s make McDonalds parking space out of it!
No need to worry. The Obamasiah will go over their and talk to them, and then they will lay down their weapons and all will be well. Once they understand everything is Bush’s fault, and that he will no longer be in office after January I am sure they will begin to get along.
#23 India is not a Muslim country. They are mostly Hindus.

It’s entirely likely. Amazing how 8 years of a retard mutant as POTUS can lead to the widespread belief that a President of the United States can’t do anything other than fuck things up or screw somebody to further his hidden agenda.
Now, we’ve got change.
¡Si, se puede!
And just to make things extra nice both sides have nukes.
I’m not sure that either side is going to give a rat’s bleep about what Americans think.
Why should they?
Somebody know why the US has helped that little asshole dictator wanna-be Musharraf? Apart from the fact that he’s Bush’s little buddy on the war on terror. Yeah like he had nothing to do with Bhutto’s assasination… Sheesh, when will the USA learn to pick their friends more carefully!
#31–amodedoma==Musharraf stepped down about 4-5 months ago. Are you talking about “back then” or the new guy? And yes, being the President of the Country that “contains” Bin Laden, Al Quada, Enemies of India, is certainly someone the USA should figure out how to get on the right side of. Are you being silly again, or just “out of it?”
I’m on the side of the Pack of Stanleys.
When it comes to working in that area, there are no real good choices for a democratic government to work with. As it’s been written, the Pakistan’s intelligence service funded and devloped various terrorist groups for use against India in the disputed Kashmir region. They used the situation in Afghanistan in order to prepare their own people for combat, thus the pre-9/11 love fest with the Taliban. Even after we gave Musharref the option of helping us or being bombed into the stone age he played both sides, with the unfortunate truth that that there was (and still isn’t) a viable alternative. Even if Pakistan’s government was rolling in currency the military/IS would still be only under partial control of the Pakistani president. Musharref was only the most visible of their problems.

Oh.. gee
Being a tech blog then why are we supporting Indians who are stealing our jobs? I think we should be glad that the Pakistanis would smoke the people who are grabbing our jobs! Why support India…
#32 bobo,
Since you seem like an informed guy I guess there’s no need for me to recount recent history. It could be argued that if the US didn’t interfere or intervene little facist bastards like Musharraf, Hussein, or the Shah of Iran, (just to name a few from the region) wouldn’t have caused so much trouble. There’s more to knowing what’s going on than to just being up on current events, sonny!
#36 Yes, it’s always the fault from the guys from outside. Pakistan would be a paradise right now if it were not for “external interventions”.
I like naive people. They wake my sarcasm up whenever, by any fluke, it goes to sleep.
Counting the days when we get to blame Obama now, wether for meddling or for lack of meddling.
If they nuke each other then we’ll have a good place for the world to store it’s nuclear waste.
