 Nur Khan reminisces ’65 war -DAWN - National; September 6, 2005
A still incredulous Nur Khan was shocked when on further inquiry he found that except for a small coterie of top generals, very few in the armed forces knew about “Operation Gibraltar”.
This in short is Nur Khan’s version of 1965 war, which he calls an unnecessary war and says that President Ayub for whom he has the greatest regard should have held his senior generals accountable for the debacle and himself resigned.
It is not punishment of the failed leadership that should be the aim of the commission but sifting of facts from fiction and laying bare the follies and foibles of the irresponsible leaders in matters with grave implications for the nation.

Khan, in his account of the war, said subsequently he came to know that except “small coterie of generals’ around President Ayub Khan, few people knew about ‘Operation Gibraltar’ and even Lahore Garrison Commander had not been informed about it.
Khan said since the 1965 war “was based on a big lie and was presented to the nation as a great victory, the army came to believe its own fiction and used Ayub as its role model and hence continued to fight unwanted wars—the 1971 war, the 1999 Kargil fiasco’’.

 Indo-Pak wars and the Truth as per Air Marshal (retired) Nur Khan - Jatland Forums
Field Marshal Ayub Khan also was planning to demonstrate -- in the wake of the Indian Army's debacle at Sela-Bomdila in Arunachal Pradesh in November 1962 -- that one Pakistani was equal to 10 Indians in terms of military prowess.
Achieving this positioning would absolve, the US Government, the US State Department, the CIA, and Musharraf, and Co, of the cynical terror that they have heaped on the Indian subcontinent, is support of their erstwhile Paki ally, since 1947- for whom Kashmir was to be the reward.
This statement of Nur Khan appears to bea Public relations exercise, to coddle up to the US, and bolster their claim to being the US’s chief and principal ally in the “War on Terror”.
