In fact, what has India provided to the US for the war against Afghanistan and Iraq?

Here's your answer........

Dr Rice expressed her government's concern on the India-Iran gas pipeline. She said US Ambassador to India David Mulford had already conveyed US reservations to the Indian government.

By supplying Iran with the revenue this pipeline will undoubtedly produce, they are aiding and abetting Iran's conquest for nuclear weapons. If India would like to benefit from American technology perhaps it should stop aiding one of the "Axis of Evil" countries. Anyone who believes Iran is not a threat to Israel's existence is a fool. Without this revenue the Iranians would likely be more receptive to economic decisions in the EU and from the current administration.

It is quite apparent India is progressing as a world power all by their little lonesome. They are getting cozy with Iran in order to supply the Chinese with the oil they so desperately need. Does this look like they have American interests at heart? Hardly! China is emerging to be a major player in the world market and India wants their piece of that pie. They are in a position to better play both sides than anyone else in the world at this time, and sure look to be doing just that. Besides they are getting a more advanced fighter. Call the waaaaambulance!

As for Pakistan the number of F16's headed their way is not going to improve their offense in the least. It will however improve their defensive capabilities, as all nations are entitled. Pakistan, with all of it's faults has been a major player in our attempts to rid the world of Bin Laden's followers. We could not have accomplished this without their support. They certainly deserve something for their efforts. By feeding a few carrots to this ally we will reap greater benefits in the future. India on the other hand appears arrogant when it pertains to American security yet will get our more advanced fighter.

Hmm,sorry to sound rude but do you have any idea about the relationship between India & China.It's shaky at the best of times with more than one piece of disputed territory.You are saying that India,the world's 2nd fastest growing energy consumer is going to help bring oil to China,the world's fastest emerging consumer.GIMME A LOUSY BREAK!!!!India imports more than 70 percent of her oil & Iran unfortunately happens to be one of the main suppliers as the Persian Gulf states are booked by Japan & Europe.India & China are competing for oil & gas exploration rights in Central Asia,Afria & Iran(where China has an upper hand).About Pakistan,well Im glad to inform you that Pakistan & China have jointly constructed a deepwater facility at Gwadar,near the Iranian border & which will be inaugurated 2 weeks or so from now.So next time a war breaks out,a Chinese warship docked at a Pakistani port maybe defending Iran.What about supplying F-16s with AMRAAMs to Pakistan-that will help China improve it's BVR missiles & help bump off a few American pilots as well.For the unitiated,Pakistan is China's oldest ally & largest arms buyer.

I don't believe that India is giving the gas in the Iran pipeline to China. But yes, it will help to fund a hysterically hateful and new nuclear power (Iran).

Russia and others have been telling India's leaders that Iran is no threat. ...same with Syria. Thus, India is convinced that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are the only threats in that region.

Have a look at this while we're at it.

"[European] Poll: Iran not a nuclear threat"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1374229/posts
"Adults in France were more likely to think Iran posed a nuclear threat (34 per cent) than in Germany (30 per cent) and Britain (27 per cent.)"

It doesn't take much thought to know where western Europe stands on the issue. Our USA and Israel are pretty much alone on the issue of Russia, China and their growing Axis.

IMO, from this point on, we should be very careful about making friends overseas and concentrate on building for defense right here (for the USA). Israel should also take notice of the larger Asian/European coalition that is building against it.
