@SuperDrizzle7 Obama is a bilderberg puppet. His Nobel ''prize'' is as significant as Whoopee Goldberg winning the best supporting actress for her role in 'Bride of the Hamburglar'.

DIDNT ANSWER THE QUESTION

my point was that if the US were to shore up India's army (by selling them greater and advanced weapons ala Perry!) they would be losing ground with the Pakistan leadership and military, which they have been anyways thanks to unauthorized drone strikes, breaching territory and attacking it's soldiers mistakenly. On the subject of Pakistan not being such a good ally of the US, read up on who has suffered more military and civilian casualties as a result of the US' misadventures in Afghanistan

How could they be feuding when they were one country before? Maybe you should read up on your history on the region. The area was a British Colony before that so there was no 'feud' between two states that didn't exist, prior to that the area was ruled by the Mughals and again they was no feud. India isn't in dire need of US military assistance, neither is Pakistan, both the countries armed forces are among the largest in the world. Which is exactly why Pak's nuclear weapons are perfectly safe

@tmashhad - Maybe they've only been "states" for 60 years, but the feuding has been going on for centuries. Who said anyone was giving India precedence ? The US just makes it clear that India is just keeping them honest, since BOTH countries have nuclear capability. If Pakistan is such a good ally, why then did the US decide not to even let them in on the fact that they were going to take Bin Laden??? The US doesn't have to do anything to shore up India's army anyway.

@dffesfs lol, yea it sure worked wonders in Vietman, Afghanistan and Iraq

[tmashhad]

@cfmurray0725 : an eye on Pakistan?? so by shoring up India's army the US will ensure safety of Pak's nuclear weapons? What happens with the alliance b/w the US and their partner in the war on terror Pakistan when they start to give India precedence?

Talking about a highly institutionalized country "losing control of its nuclear assets" is representative of the war mongering foreign policy adopted by the US (btw both Pakistan and India as states only came into existence some 60 years ago!!)
