“Retaliation theater” near the Indo-Pakistan border. India and Pakistan-watchers are on edge after Indian airstrikes on militants across India’s border in Pakistan. This morning Reuters reports New Delhi citizens are celebrating the strikes — framed as retaliation for militants who bombed an Indian police convoy almost two weeks ago. That bombing was claimed by Pakistan-based Islamist group Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Damage assessment? According to India’s foreign minister, “A very large number of Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists” were killed in this morning’s airstrikes. According to Pakistan, however, “there had been no casualties at all,” Reuters writes.

Word of caution, MIT’s Vipin Narang notes on Twitter, since “casualty estimates and who may or may not have been killed are wild speculation right now. And the number keeps getting inflated which doesn’t help escalation control.”
This is scary although it happens occasionally. Our media seems to feel that it is no big deal.and is rarely reported.

I suppose that we should all be excited to have our impulsive, erratic jet lagged and speed addicted president in Vietnam matching wits with a Swiss educated scion of a political dynasty....how many ways could this possibly not come up smelling like roses for America?
