O' Komol:
Keleinw baaru tumi --playing hard to get? Get right back to ,your old
home and keep us on OUR toes :-). You can keep 'asom' alive, and keep
us entertained too.
*** Yes indeed. Indian army can wipe everyone out, ULFA and the
'common people' . Therein , however is the problem., isn't it?
Unfortunately asymmetrical warfare 'is like that only ( sic-desi)'.
But the STATE with its lofty pronouncements affirming fealty to the
rule of law somehow can't seem to get it. Just like it never did.
That is the OTHER problem, isn't it?
*** I don't know where you come from Komol, but where I come from,
everyone seems to know WHO is ULFA and who is not. For miles and
miles around. Only the army of occupation doesn't. Guess why?
Obviously your Assam is a different one from the ones I have seen. I
realize you don't recognize that other one, just like Ram and all
those others who spill their guts in this forum. But that is living
in denial.
Take care.

Hi Ram,
I can't get into Assam net,since I have not re-subscribed to
it.Here are a few responses:
1) The foot soldiers ( those who have become cannon fodders),
engaged in the CI ops,are not orphans nor should they be used as
sacrificial lambs.
2) Had the situation been ' no-holds-barred',the Army should have
been able to pulverise the entire locality along with the residents
at one go.Have we ever heard of this? The cordon-and-search and
search-and-destroy,the back-bones of any CI missions.,would not have
been necessary.
3) Even the dhoti-clad citizen,having border-line IQ,should have no
difficulty in making out the meaning of " hides among the common
people".To be able to remain mixed with the run-of-the-mill
population does not mean that their identity ( read terrorist) is
known to the public all along nor does it denote that they are being
mollycoddled by the citizen.Had that been the case,we would not have
seen people registering protests in round numbers against the evils
perpetrated by the terrorists.Beyond all questions,there will always
be some side-kicks of insurgents roaming around the common
masses.That's why a soldier has to keep everyone under the umbrella
of suspicion.
4) Sondon kokaidew has scored full marks for the fact of reminding
me that I am not a military strategist.Without any clauses and
caveats,I am no Army specialist---- just as one does not have to be
a terrorist in order to become one of their yes-man or acolyte.
Regards,
KJD.
