American bases creeping closer to those Caspian Basin oil and NG fields we covet and wish to steal? Check.

American troops now surrounding another of Israel’s ‘existential’ enemies, Iran, just waiting to get the green light from our craven Congress, who will send our kids to their death, fighting to keep Apartheid Israel happy? Check.

Pakistan’s nuclear bombs now under the control of an American stooge, put into power by the CIA after the country has been destroyed?

Still working on that one.

Was this diplomacy, was it “sucking up” or was it something more sinister?

For example, in Andhra Pradesh where the naxal (maoist) movement originated, it has been wiped out by the local state police. While it is going to take some time, I doubt that the naxal movement is going to last long (I mean years). More development combined with better policing will take care of it.

And about the troops, while some belong to the ITBP (Indo-Tibetian Border Police) a paramilitary outfit, some belong to the Border Roads Organization. I really doubt that it would be possible for India to have 17000 troops in Afghanistan without it coming to light.

the ISI says India has 17,000. the afghani govt. says India has 2000. however, active projects and investment, if you care to check, do not require more than 50 guards, much less 2000. Also, no Indian company is licensed to carry weapons inside Afghanistan.

This is all a very legitimate avenue of inquiry. If India is arming the Taliban and Pakistan is finding weapons caches, Indian weapons (as are shown in Taliban photos….good quality weapons also, I must add) then we might have things to discuss.

I have many friends in India and have been asked to bring a trade delegation from India to Pakistan. These commercial relationships will be vital.

India’s current “maoist” problem is ten times greater than they wish to express. Both countries are destroying each other with terrorism although india is far more financially robust.

I feel a bit out of place because I have so many friends in India and in Pakistan.

Additionally, however, both states have extremely serious problems of a social nature both ignore….much as with the US….but even worse. If you have some positive suggestions, we would consider putting them in print.

So Indian intelligence agencies plan terrorist attacks, do they? Damn, and I thought that it was the ISI that did that.

You know, your entire article could have been written by a member of the Pakistani military. But then, I guess that was the point.

We all want to see you elected.

As for the US contractors protecting the Taliban, that has been widely confirmed. There is an official investigation underway regarding this. Yes, you are right, always ask questions. Note, however, if India is our ally, how many troops do they have fighting the Taliban? At last check, the number was 0.

Thus, India remains, as they have been for decades, a client state of Russia until proven different.

Get out a history book.

My solution is for every able veteran to file to run in every election from city council person up through president in 2010 and 2012 and onward. It doesn’t matter what party you feel attached to as we all are Americans first. And you don’t need any party permissions.

Things won’t happen overnight but over a period of time, perhaps years, we will right what has become wrong in America. A few international families via corporation By Laws, given permission by the Supreme Court should be enough of a wake call. But then, I’m just a guy with PTSD and Agent Orange radiated. What would I know about anything. Veterans must get involved as candidates now.

These are serious charges, but where’s the evidence? Why should I believe any of it?
