“Arrested”.

Clever turn of phrase. Very......ChiCom sounding.

Wow, did you see that picture of Obama in Pockeesthan at that BBC site you linked from?

[Kickass Conservative]

I wonder which Jets each side was flying, U.S. or Ruskie?

LiveLeak has very graffic videos of dead pilots.

One of the jets India lost was a MiG 21.

If this escalates, I wouldn't put a nuclear exchange past either side.

While I generally favor Hindu India over Muslim Pakistan, the Indian government has its share of crazies too - to get an idea where some of them are coming from, many of Modi's allies defend murdering non-Hindus who slaughter and eat cattle as justified by Hinduism.

Would the bombed areas be more or less toxic afterward?

You’ve gotta have sympathy for India...sharing a border with *two* of the filthiest,most dangerous,countries on earth.

I was thinking along the line of Red China.While it's true that Bangladesh is also populated largely by savages they don't have nukes.

[Redcitizen]

Pakistan still has a ways to go to be the worlds largest distributor of MIG parts, a record currently held by the US.
