We need to firm up the relationship with India on both military and economic grounds and I am a little concerned that Kerry's rhetoric is too harsh on the economic side, and that will dovetail into other foreign relations. Well I guess you do what you have to do to win the election and then moderation sets in. Firms outsourcing jobs to India are traitors: Kerry hinduonnet.com

A real mystery why Bush pulled 90% out of Afghanistan before the job was done. He promised us Osama, then pulled out. There's something strange going on between Bush and Bin Lauden in general.

This is what Bush should have done 15 months ago instead of going to Iraq. This was when the Indian military was ready to march into Pakistan and sandwich Al Qaeda between the advancing US forces from the west in Afghanistan. But Rumsfeld went in there told both the countries to back off so that the US military could turn its attention to Iraq instead. Now the hunt for Osama is back on track. Let the Indian army march on across Lahore, Rawalpindi, Quetta, Islamabad, Karachi and stand face to face with the US military from the side of Afghanistan to flush out those goddamn terrorists from the rugged mountains of Waziristan. Presumably your tongue has been placed firmly in your cheek. For the U.S. to encourage a confrontation between India and Pakistan, whatever the short-term military benefits, would be an act of total irresponsibility. Personally, I think that the U.S. has done an excellent job over the last two years balancing its own security interests with the need to maintain a balance between the two countries. Another war between India and Pakistan could potentially have catastrophic consequences.
