POLITICIANSBy: sbala | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 16:31:26 PM Reply | Forward Every threat can not be followed up by a minister. It is the job of the pot bellies enjoying permanent jobs in cushy offices with so many people doing his commands. If the IAS and IPS fellows muster enough courage to dare the politicians and do their job by the country then everything will be ok. Unfortunately these fellows occupy top positions everywhere based on their caste, religion, region or recommendations. Merit is not their qualification. Even the judiciary which can not be criticized because they are above God, is run by such people. When people do not get justice where from it should, and takes ages to come by, then people turn to goondas, and in turn they become powerful, and post people of their chosing. All round corruption leads to inefficiency everywhere and the services / judiciary / politics / administration / media are not spared. Remember what Gandhi said. Honest people in governmennt are more important than intelligent ones.

CorruptionBy: Sapr | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 12:00:19 PM Reply | Forward These politicians have got gangerene in their blood , they are suffereng from a never ending disease of corruption of such a high level that nothing can be done. The best is to hand over our country to the Armed Forces and let them deal with it in their own disciplened way. If this is not done there are a number of counted days left for iur country before it is too late.

NOT A POSTMAN, YOU ARE A DEFENCE MINISTER !By: KP PILLAI | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 10:30:24 AM Reply | Forward RATHER THAN PASSING THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT TO THE MILITARY CHIEFS AND GIVING DETAILS TO THE PRESS, HE SHOULD CARRY OUT A VISIT TO FRONT LINES EVERYWHERE AND SEE FOR HIMSELF THE ARRANGEMENTS, RATHER THAN GOING TO MAHARASHTRA TO SETTLE THE CHIIEF MINISTER DISPUTE. A VISUAL MEDIA IN KERALA CARRIED OUT SEA CROSSINGS FROM A NUMBER OF POINTS FROM THE OUTER SEA TO SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE NO VERIFICATION, CHECKINGS AND THE SCORES OF CONSIGNMENT OF BLACK MONEY, ARMS AND AMMUNITIONS DOCKING ON THE LONG COASTAL SIDES OF KERALA, GOES ON UNINTERRUPTED. IT IS SO UNOFRTUNATE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A STRONG LEADERSHIP TO TAKE ACTION WITH DETERMINATION. ANYONE CAN PASS ON THE SITREPS (SITUATION REPORTS) ; NOT A BIG THING.

Minister's warning By: Nair | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 10:24:48 AM Reply | Forward Antony is relatively to a big ministry such as Defense. Give the guy some time before passing judgement. Interestingly, I read some not so courteous words from Mukherjee. He is still peeved at losing the old job. Unelected representatives like Patil or Mukherjee should not be in the Ministry.

Action Awaited By: S Thulasidharan | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 10:14:30 AM Reply | Forward Please act and kill the plot rather than waiting to take preventive measures. Are we afraid of Pakistanis or we are incapable of giving them a befitting reply for their dastardly actions. Now nations like Bangladesh also have started following the footsteps of Pakistan looking at the linient behavior of our Indian politicians. Are the lives of Indians so cheap. No its definitely not ! TAKE ACTION AND WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA DEMAND ACTION AND WE NEED IMMEDIATE ACTION SO THAT THEY SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE EVEN PLOTTING TO ATTACK OUR DEAR NATION.

Defence(?) Minister AnthonyBy: Suren Sukhtankar | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:54:43 PM Reply | Forward What is your job Mr Anthony? Just issue warnings? Or better Sonia's chamachegiri?Take action against Pakistan. The Pigistan must be severely punished. Either fight or get out. I hope terrorists attack some of our politicians; then they will understand suffering of the common man!

Defence Ministers warningBy: Ahmed Abidin | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:48:54 PM Reply | Forward Sounds like an intelligence report from an intl agency. If ministers do such things what will the intel chief do = let them swap their jobs

Defence ministers warningBy: Raju Sawde | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:05:16 PM Reply | Forward Even a primary school kid knows this. But what are we doing to prevent it. Today it is quite simple to take over an airport in a small town. The people manning these airports have antiquated weapons and absolutely no common sense. If a handful of guys could keep our commandos at bay for more than 2 days, imagine what would happen if such militants decide to take over a small town airport.

Useless Ministers.By: Kevin | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 22:37:27 PM Reply | Forward Oh. We do have a Defence Minister. Shivraj Patil, you are not alone. We have one more useless pawn in to hands of the government. And the third Stooge is most cettainly our very own PM.
