In a box item 'REBUFF
TO VAJPAYEE' in a fortnightly called FRONTLINE though mostly it is bylined by a ghostly uppervoice overed slave
drive writerly, that is coming so forthrightly wrongly at the drop of a change in a government, coming down
so heavily on a previous tenant who had had a purported conversation reported from the one end which by now to entire world
is quite UNQUIETLY obvious was lying through it's teeth as it clawed it's way into Mesopotamia riding piggy-banking on a dubious
bounced check called: COALITION OF WILLING which it was wanting TO GO ON EXPANDING and kept phoning and begging nations
around the world to join in the CARAVAN ROLLING OUT THE CARNAGE JATRA!
Thankfully thankfully India did not join in.
Though
it messed around with the idea of troops to Iraq wrangling and wringing her hands in anguish for months on end while the other
end was hoping endlessly with nails bit down to their beds and harangues hung out on tenterhooks that she would anyhow relent
but didn't because of what was largely an ELECTION YEAR which every democrat who terrorizes after squeaking past the ballotbox
slot knows how to have the fear of the devil of being turfed out of!
SO THOUGH THAT WAS A BLOT WE COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT
certainly this plainly petulent plaint of unrepentence on the part of the other end who through a put out version IN PLAN
OF ATTACK by Bob Wppdward 'REVEALED' or should that read 'REVILED' a move by PM VAJPAYEE to send an invite to
President Bush 'two days earlier' to March 17th when Brajesh Misra was on phone to Condy Rice or vice-versa, when the
latter rather politely declined the offer of India to host a meeting of the P5, which we are now made to feel ASHAMED
OF!
OR RATHER ARE EXPECTED T O BE MADE TO BE FELT ASHAMED AT!
'Great Idea,' Rice said
politely, 'but we don't see the point now.'
THIS WAS FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE ATTACK ON IRAQ.
THIS WAS WHEN BUSH
SAID HE DID NOT EVEN NEED HIS CHIHUAHUA TO GO INTO BATTLE!
So be it?
BUT WHY SHOULD INDIA THROUGH HER PRIME MINISTER'S
OFFER OF HAVING A VENUE BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR PARLEYS FOR THE P-5 BE MADE TO FEEL ASHAMED SO LATE IN THE RABBLE TO RUBBLE
OF THE WAR ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WAS SO RIGHT?
WHY DID NOT THE P-5 MEET TOGETHER
AND EVEN SIT DOWN AND SHARE A CUP A TEA WITH A CROISSANT OR A DANISH PASTRY.
EVEN THEY AGREED TO DISAGREE.
Or
as is being made out here in the box item, FRANCE WOULD VETO.
So where was the point in sitting down to a futile
meeting?
EXACTLY.
Why can't so called civilised
compenents of G-8 advanced nations even sit down and hammer out their differences and agree to disagree?
Instead what happend was the
BIG THREE of AMERICA, BRITAIN and who was that other? was hosted by SPAIN in an island off African waters in a
secret silent getaway and battered away Iraq once they came away?
They could not even countenance
sitting down with GERMANY FRANCE AND RUSSIA leave be ancient and most populous nations such as INDIA AND CHINA to discuss
it together.
THEY WERE HELLBENT.
WHY SHOULD
WE BE SIMILARLY BENT BEYOND THE POINT OF RECALL?
Yet once it was all over they
were all over one another in NEW YORK, PARIS, AND MOSCOW!
INVITING VAJPAYEE TO BE SEATED
AT THE SAME TABLE AND PARTAKE OF THE QUOFF DOWN THE SAME VODKA but WE WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BE INVITED OVER not
before THE WAR BROKE OVER IRAQ to be seated at Delhi?
COME AGAIN! MAHESH BHATT
REFUSED TO SIT DOWN FOR A PRAYER MEETING WITH GEORGE DUBYA BUSH AND HE IS WALKING WITH HIS HEAD TALL ADN WE ARE WITH HIM EVERY
INCH OF THE REFUSAL! AS OF THEN TO THIS DAY!
AND VAJPAYEE WENT OVER AND DILLY
DALLIED OVER SENDING TROOPS TO IRAQ AND HE WENT UNDER THE BALLOT HAMMER? MESSAGE IN THERE!
PEACE IS A BIG MEAL THAT CANNOT
BE PARTAKEN PIECEMEAL!!!
So why bemoan a good gesture
when it was meant well?
IT A 'GREAT IDEA' in GREAT HINDSIGHT especially after all that THE WAR IN IRAQ was meant to be
and turned out to be instead and that's not even considering ABU GHRAIB which is a horror story of another order or rather
disorder!
So kindly do not mock a good
intent however late in the day.
THE DAY OF RECKONING may have been clear to those hellbent on destruction and havoc
but not to the entire world who continued with mass rallies and placards and pleadings right to the very end.
THIS IS THE
HALLMARK OF A GREAT CIVILIZATION WHICH VAJPAYEE 'whoever advised him to embark on this fatous venture?' might have been.
'Use
of florid rhetoric is enough to debase diplomacy without recourse to stunts like this. But this episode should prompt
questions.'
YES! WHY SHOULD 'IT SHOULD
MAKE ANY SENSITIVE INDIAN FEEL SAD' AT WHAT CONDY RICE IS SAID TO HAVE IMPLICATED BEHIND HER POLITE DECLINE OF A 'GREAT IDEA'
where we are impleaded to 'note the contempt-- 'great idea' in Rice's comments to Woodward.
YES! THE BOOT IS ON THE
OTHER FOOT.
OF PUTTING THE FOOT DOWN ON A 'GREAT IDEA'
CONDY RICE TESTIFIED IN FRONT
OF A COMMITTEE PROBING THE IRAQ WAR.
VAJPAYEE WAS SWEPT OUT IN THE ELECTORAL ROLLS but it was certainly a 'GREAT IDEA'
however it was not meant to be in actuality.
IT MAKES GREAT READING IN HINDSIGHT.
'TOLD YA SO?'
YES I TOO DID!
HAVE THE SAME
IDEA!
WROTE IT TOO BEFORE THE WAR!
IN:
AND I AS AN INDIAN AM NOT ONE
BIT ASHAMED.
NOR DO I BELIEVE THE MEEK NOR THOSE WHO KEPT DIPLOMATICALLY MUM 'like
Russia and China's dignified restraint'
shall inherit the earth.
THE COMMIES THERE AS HERE ARE FULL OF BLAGUE AND BLEAT ABOUT THINGS THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT!
watch how the commies here want
to SELL THE CENTRE AT A SHORTSHRIFT TO A SHORTLIST while sitting pretty much outside the pale of RESPONSIBILITY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY while hanging on to their own backyard backward addas most tightfistedly in WASTE BENGAL and CORE COCONUT KERALA
and so on with most utmost lowpost
that so too the high restraint dignity and restraint maintained by RUSSIA AND CHINA shows their UTTER IRRESPONSIBILITY THERE
BEING PART OF P-5 AND GOING INTO A KEEP MUM MODE!
SPEAKUP!INDIA BEFORE THE EVENT.
NOT
CRITIQUE IT AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what brings it out into the open now?
change of guard at the centre
wanting to look good?
WHAT ABOUT THE 'BENAMI FUNDING' received from the GOOD SADDAM?
OR IS THAT CAUSE FOR THE SILENCED
GRIST TO THE STONE MILL OR MILLSTONE ROUND THE NECK?
TELL US AGAIN?
IT WAS A 'GREAT IDEA'
read it in:
only the invitation was for
the venue to be at GOLCONDA and not DELHI.
TAILPIECE:
"KANGAAROO QUESTION"
ask
a TELUGU for translation of that word, why is it that whatever TELANGANA GETS SOMEONE ELSE WANTS THE SAME: VIZ:
SHIPPING?
'kangaaroo question?'
If all the citizenship papers
of SIGNORA SONIA were in order prim and proper and all pinned up or pin up able why did the SUPREME COURT jump KANGAROO on
the poor petitioner and want to jail him as if he were a TRAITOR? ARE WE GOING DOWN UNDER?
KANGAROO IS THE NAME OF
A COURT THAT. . .
INSTEAD OF HEARING
THE RIGHTEOUS PATRIOTIC PLAINT. . .
SHOOTS THE MESSENGER?
