"I would like to quote Swaminathan Aiyar's piece in TOI. I find it interesting:
Militant Hindus want to emulate the US by raiding and assassinating targets in Pakistan such as Hafeez Saeed of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, mastermind of 26/11. This approach will fail. Just look at the ultimate failure of many killing missions of Israel, which is global No.1 in political assassinations and much admired for it by the RSS. Ronen Bergman, Israel military analyst, recalls that in 1992, Israel assassinated Hezbollah founder Abbas Mussawi. Far from weakening Hezbollah, this fuelled its anger and led to a retaliatory attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 20. Mussawi’s replacement, Hassan Nasrallah, greatly increased Hesbollah’s clout using arms supplies from Iran. This helped him wage an inconclusive war against Israel in 2006. Israel inflicted much damage on Lebanon, yet ended by withdrawing, a worse outcome than anything imaginable in Mussawi’s time. In 2004, Israel assisinated Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, hoping to cripple the organization. Instead, Hamas become stronger and more aggressive. Yassin was devout Sunni who opposed Shia Iran, but after his death, Hamas happily joined hands with Iran and was armed by it, t Israel’s utter dismay. So, while India faces a growing threat from jihadis, Israel shows us that assassination is no solution – it looks macho but ends up

strengthening your foes. Ultimately, militant Islam will be quelled by liberal Islam, not by outsiders, and that internal struggle is beyond our power to resolve. Whether we like it or not, we cannot impose a military solution
PLEASE dig out all those clips of Musharraf's TV appearances bandying about 200%, 400%, and 600% guarantees about OBL not being in Pakistan, or *00% and 1000% guarantees about no terrorists using their country. I feel a Autotune song coming on...♫
This operation would have been successful even inside India. India also does not have the capability to stop such stealth operation. Radars are not 100% effective in detecting flying machines. At very low level or at very high level they can not notice any flying object. There are also radar jamming techniques.

INDIA IS MORE STUPID COUNTRY THAN EVEN PAKISTAN (AT LEAST, PAK SHOWS ITS FALSE FANGS; & INDIA SHOWS ITS TEETHLESSNESS ALL THE TIMES & A BUNCH OF JOKERS WANTS TO PLAY CRICKET WITH PAK!) WHEN IT COMES TO ITS INTERNATIONAL IMAGE! BCOZ: 1) IT SPENDS CRORES ON KASAB TO SHOW ITS UPRIGHTNESS WHEN LAKHS OF PEOPLE LANGUISH IN JAILS WITHOUT TRIAL! IF INDIA, WAS PAKISTAN, THEY WOULD HAVE SENT KASAB TO ALLAH! AND DUMPED HIM IN THE SEA LIKE O-BIN-L & NOT SPENT CRORES ON GIVING A ROGUE A FREE TRIAL!
INDIA IS A POOH-POOH COUNTRY IN INTERNATIOAL ARENA - LIKE AN ELEPHANT WITH NO TUSKS ALSO! UNLESS INDIA BECOMES A CHINA OR AN ISRAEL OR EVEN A PKISTAN, IT WILL ALWAYS BE A NON-ENTITY!
2) INDIA IS A TIGER ONLY AGAINST ITS OWN PEOPLE/PUBLIC as AGAINST THE REST OF THE WORLD, IT IS ONLY A RAT! IT HARASSES ITS CITIZENS UNDER THE GARB OF RULES, REGULATIONS, ETC. BUT ROGUES & RASCALS AT ALL LEFVELS CAN RULE THE ROOST!
INDIA IS A SPENT FORCE DUE EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS LOUSY GOVERNANCE BY LOUSY MONOPOLY CALLED CON-(DIS)GRESS, WHICH HAS STUCK UP LIKE FEVICOL, THANKS TO ITS GROWING NO. OF IGNORANT FOOLS & IDIOTS WHO'LL VOTE ANYBODY & EVERYBODY WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR BACKGROUND!
EVEN GOD CAN NOT SAVE INDIA! IT CAN GO THE PAK WAY - OF COURSE, IN A FARCE-O-CRATIC WAY, WHICH THE POLITICIANC CALL IT A DEMOCRACY!
SAAREY JAHAN SE ACHHA (NAHI) HINDUSTAN HAMARA, THANX TO ITS LOUSIEST POLITICANS ON EARTH!

Absolutely. but then India isn't deceitful. There are no HVTs hinding in India, that Indian is blackmailing the world about. So the premise for the operation doesn't arise. Anyone out there hiding in Dehradun?

Let not new tech emerge from India: Obama to US............WHY SO ??? ..SO THAT INDIA WILL REMAIN THIRD WORLD COUNTRY ...THESE AMERICAN BASTRDS WILL DICTATE TERMS IN INDIA VIA FKED UP ITALIAN CONGRESS.
Remember! Musharraf commented during Kargil war " Hamne CHurian Nahi Pahen Rakhi Hein" (Pak Army and ISI have not worn bangles.We will act if India attacks Pak). Now what happened in case of OSAMA episode? Pak army was completely taken unaware and did nothing when Americans achieved their objective smartly. Their enemity is only with India. Can India take same action on Daud, other terrorists?

It was unfortunate - their Army had just sold their radars by the kilo of steel for having lunch.
