Dagaalkii India iyo Pakistan ayaa qarxay, Maraykankuna inkastoo ay dhex dhexaad ahaayeen hadana Kissinger waxa uu ku tilmaamay "mid u janjeera" Pakistan, wax walbo oo awoodeeda ahna way sameyneysay si ay Pakistan u caawiso. Laird wuxuu ka shakiyay qorshaha lagu taageerayo Pakistan, oo ah tan ugu itaalka daran labada awood, intaas oo dhan ka badan sidii Midowga Soofiyeeti uu u taageerayay Hindiya, taas oo sidaas ka dhigi lahayd guuldaradii lama huraanka ahayd ee Pakistan inay u muuqato guuldaradii Mareykanka sidoo kale. Xaqiiqada ah in dowladda ay ka taliyaan reer Galbeedka Pakistan ee uu hogaaminayo General Yahya Khan ay wado olole xasuuq ah oo ka dhan ah dadka laga tirada badan yahay ee Hindida ah ee Bariga Pakistan (Bangalladesh casriga ah) ayaa Pakistan ka dhigtay xulaf caqli ahaan naxdin leh sidoo kale, laakiin Nixon iyo Kissinger labaduba waxay aad u qiimeeyeen caawinta Yahya Khan oo ah "dhexdhexaadiye daacad ah" oo u adeegay sidii marin gadaal ah Shiinaha. Nixon, oo dareemaya Laird jaceyl la'aanta Pakistan, wuxuu ku amray Kissinger 6dii Diseembar 1971 inuu Laird ku qasbo inuu "raaco khadka Aqalka Cad".
