Indian Army got a bad name. They listened to their civilian masters and dropped their guards and allowed the terrorists to approach their guard post in the Uri sector on the night of the last incident. In the end all terrorists got eliminated but an expense of a Lt. Col and nine other ranks.
The civilian governments in J&K and in New Delhi had been pressing the army to lower their guards because civilian boys horsing around in a car got killed recently. That was what the terrorists were waiting for to happen I.e. Army guards units close to the LOC became a bit less conscious of the danger. The terrorists approach the bunker complex, stayed unchallenged, took up positions and shot at any thing and everything which moved or approached their position.
There are parallel to Mumbai story. There also danger signals were not fully understood and terrorists were allowed to land on a beach and then unload their gear and merrily move around in the thickest part of the city (in a nutshell).
LET and ISI are laughing at India, that how easily they can catch India unpreprepared and at peace with itself. Although this should not have happened as firing at LOC had been happening for the last three months. That would have made the army units close to the LOC to be extra careful, but they were a bit relaxed.
I do not think that the matter would be forgotten as the Mumbai attack was forgotten. It is Modi, who is incharge not impotent Manmohan Singh. A befitting reply would come. It has wait until Putin and Obama have departed India after their visit. This matter, I am sure Mr. Modi would bring to their notice. Then their views would be known. Mr. Modi would send a befitting reply.
This time India would breach the LOC, send its commandos across, kill evey terrorists they find in their camps. This avenging would be more befitting if Pakistan is prevented from rushing troops to Azad Kashmir, by troops movements at the Indian border by threatening Pakistan if they thinned too many of their troops.
If they insist a match across the international border, then time is right. Last match took place in 1971, their could be another one now. That will have dampening effect on both LOC and Pakistan's army which is out of control for the last fifteen years. LET will vanish as the price paid is too high and Pakistani Army cut down to size, giving civilian governments chance to run the affairs. If air war ensues, then it is best time to knock out ISI headquarter in Rawalpindi and LET headquarter in Lahore. If Pakistan continue in the name Jihadi victory, then knock down their nuclear installations, although their nuclear bombs are well protected, these cannot be found easily. But these are under American Nuclear lock, hence threatening to use them will bring US into the picture. This they cannot risk, because US had been planning to take these away from Pakisatni hands for a long time. US always fear that sooner than later Jihadis will grab hold of these.
Hence this is time to cut Pakistan to size.
