US-India military make nice
Terming the current level of military to military cooperation between India and United States as "unprecedented," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US armed forces General Richard B Myers Saturday said a solid military partnership is important for the two nations' common goal of defeating terrorism. Myers, who began his two-day visit to India on Saturday at the invitation of Defence Minister George Fernandes, said Indo-US military ties were also central to maintaining long-term stability in Asia.
Like I say, an alliance with India is a much better fit that an alliance with Pakland. India's got its own share of loons, but there's a wider range of flavors so they can cancel each other out most of the time. Interesting, that the visit comes on the heels of Musharraf's return from meeting with Bush - and his puzzling remarks when he got home.
