Did US blunder into a Pak trap with Nato attacks?

November 28, 2011 11:19

Read MK Bhadrakumar's blog on the Nato strike on Pakistan on Saturday.

Excerpts:

An unusually perceptive regular reader of my blogs wrote back to point out that the NATO air strikes on Pakistan took place on 26/11.

But if his/her suggestion was that US and NATO were signalling to India on the very 'anniversary' of the Mumbai attacks, I won't quite see it that way.

The point is, the timing of the NATO attack was very awkward - even by US standards. My intuition is that the NATO air strike was not a 'stand-alone' affair and most likely had a background to it.

I get the gut feeling that the US blundered into a Pakistani trap."
