Now its the same sh!t done in the reverse.
Famous joke:
Vajpayee to Musharraf during Parakram: Hand over the terrorists, or we invade
Musharraf: I have 375000 men in my army, 110000 in the AF and 35000 in the Navy, plus another 200000 as paramilitary, I have so many tanks, planes, missiles etc etc
Vajpayee talks to COAS Indian Army: Mutter, mutter, mutter..
Comes back:
Ok, Musharraf- we wont invade.
Musharraf: Aha!! Why??
Vajpayee: Theres no way in heck that we can feed half a million prisoners!Karmani Vyapurutham Dhanuhu

Also its very obvious that the armchair soldiers who are responsible for Waziristan deployment did not do enough when they could have and should have. In this case they should have had the whole area under aerial surveillance well before the troops headed out. I read somewhere that Mehsud is supposed to have 30,000 trained men working under him. Thousands of them could have been waiting at certain strategic spots, aereal surveillance would have caught movements well in advance of the 300 troops arriving and backup could have been summoned, land and air based. Or they could have just not moved. Obviously no UAVs were scoping the area out, so the person responsible for UAVs doing that should have been under the threat of his finger being ceremoniously broken.

Originally posted by arment View PostThis is the part that looks suspicious to me. This isn't a small patrol that accidentally got lost and surrounded by superior numbers. This is a fairly large group of guys + they have commanding officers with them as well. I think these guys simply defected en-masse.

Originally posted by maqsad View PostAnother suspicious fact surrounding this mysterious, bloodless surrender is how they lost radio contact with their base without reporting any obstruction ahead on the road. You don't just lose radio contact unless someone jams your frequency minutes before ambushing your communications vehicles and confiscating all radio transmitters. Most likely the PA lied about this, concealing the fact that the convoy sent out an SOS before having their radio link snuffed out. Its also possible, but unlikely that they were ambushed so professionally with lightning strikes and jamming signals that they never got a chance to communicate.
But the number disparity, & the Pakistani force's "surrender" still doesn't make sense. "Defection" certainly would, though. But I haven't read anything that would resemble a proper reaction to such a defection yet. IMO, you just don't let such a force "defect" without some sort of military response--unless you have so little hold on your military that you just can't make such a reaction come about.
Of course, if the unit made such a military blunder as to bring further discredit upon their Nation's government, I could see that government trying to keep the fact that such a situation occured as "non-recognized" as possible.Last edited by Skull6; 05 Sep 07,, 22:48.If you know the enemy and yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. - Sun Tzu

Do you think that they defected?
