Oddly enough, I have come across Indians who say that the best thing for India would be to have military rule for "x" number of years. (What they want to have after those "x" years, I don't know).

Brahmos and SU30 - paki's rear end aperture pains Does anybody have a soothing balm for the paki's south end exit? News Extract: BrahMos Private Limited was established in India as a Joint Venture through an Inter-Governmental Agreement between India and Russia signed in February 1998. BrahMos is perceived as the confluence of two great nations represented by two great rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moscow of Russia. Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) from India and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) from Russia form the joint venture partners of the Company. The Company BrahMos endeavours to design, develop, manufacture and market the Supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Systems with the participation of multiple Indian and Russian institutions and industries. The Brahmos missile will be available for export to friendly countries when it will be ready for regular production by 2003. The foundation of the Joint Venture BrahMos is an example of integration and promotion of jointly developed high technology military products to the world market. Re: What indian commanders also think of the SU30. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree that the bureaucracy is a bunch of rear end apertures ( ) and I wish we could do away with them But to point out some discrepancies: the air to air refuellers have already been ordered, the MKI is much much more capable than the M2000-5 the Su-30MKI is NOT available in the single seat form. And if it is it will not be as capable as the MKI. I don't think China yet has 70-100 Su-27s/J-11s China instead has already opted for Su-30MKKs, but they are much less capable tha the MKI... New fighters are not prestige weapons. Pakistani Air commanders, for example, have publicly expressed deep concern over India's acquisition and co-development of the Sukhoi Su-30MKI, commenting that the IAF's 40 Su-30 will have the same striking power as 240 older IAF aircraft, and far greater range and firepower than the Prithvi SSM. Indonesia and Malaysia have started negotiating the purchase of Su-30s, prompting interest from Singapore and other nations in a longer range western fighter to complement the F-16.

The Kangaroo Court of wallabies uphold referendum The Puppet Musharaff has his own puppets in the Supreme Court-- "The puppety pups" The Big Red Kangaroo tells the Wallabies what to think, say and do by sign language. These boomers echo the what the Big Red says; otherwise, their flyers and joeys will be left hopping in the wilderness.--JPR. Males are called boomers, females flyers; the young are called joeys. (ref. unknown) SC upholds referendum: No judgment on consequences of exercise: All petitions dismissed By Rafaqat Ali ISLAMABAD, April 27: The Supreme Court ruled on Saturday that the holding of the referendum was a valid exercise, but refused to pass any judgment on the issue of consequences of referendum, saying: "we leave the same to be determined at a proper forum at an appropriate time." The Supreme Court, however, in its unanimous judgment, held that chief executive Pervez Musharraf validly removed Mohammad Rafiq Tarar and assumed the office of the president on June 20, 2001. With regard to the consequences of the referendum, the court held: "We would not like to go into these question at this stage and leave the same to be determined at a proper forum at an appropriate time." The nine-member Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice Sheikh Riaz Ahmad, after conducting hearing for six consecutive days, decided on Saturday that the Referendum Order was issued under the powers given to President Pervez Musharraf on May 12, by the Supreme Court bench validating military takeover on the doctrine of necessity. Dismissing all petitions challenging the holding of referendum, the court in its 18-page judgment said that the Referendum Order did not have the effects of amending the Constitution of Pakistan.
