India continues to prepare for a war with Pakistan. In a news conference, India's Army Chief, General S. Padmanabhan, told the press "I have not gone to do an exercise, I have gone to be ready for war, to defend my country" and went on to warn Pakistan that any nuclear attacks would be met by like retaliation by India. India has been placing landmines along its border with Pakistan, a move that only increases the seriousness of the tensions in the region.
Our own Ari Fletcher, White House spokesman, commented that "India and Pakistan have a mutual enemy in terrorists, not in each other". Personally, I find that rather disingenious, considering that the current tensions between the south-asian nuclear powers was caused by a terrorist attack which India believes was sponsored by Pakistan. I'm sure Ari could have said "The United States and the Taliban have a mutual enemy in terrorists, not in each other" as far as the Indians are concerend; either way would be equally non-sensical from their view-point.
