Despite intensive lobbying by Russia in recent months, India is moving decisively toward missile defense cooperation with the United States, according to the September 29th edition of Defense News. The paper reports that Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee floated a request for U.S. assistance in the creation of national missile shield which will be designed to counter growing threats from China and Pakistan during his September 24th New York meeting with President Bush. In his proposal, Vajpayee agreed to the establishment of an extensive nonproliferation regime, as well as American oversight over New Delhis deployment of defenses a role that could extend to U.S. control over deployed Indian defenses, according to one Indian Ministry of Defence official. We expect Washington to agree to the proposal, as New Delhi had been one of the few countries to support the national missile defense proposal of President Bush when it was launched in 2001, the official told Defense News.

We're going to end up protecting the whole planet from IRBMs and ICBMs. We'll get better protection and maybe end up paying only 99% of the cost instead of 99.9%

Thank you Ronald Reagan for leading with StarWars. Your legacy is still going forward.

India, together with Japan, who had responded to North Korea's nuclear threat and announced earlier that they will develop their own missile defense basing on America's land based system, will at least keep China's expansionism under check.

Actually, we're already building ten ABM silos, 6 in Alaska and 4 in California. They will be finished, armed, and **active** no later than by November of 2004.

Which doesn't even count for the new system online slung under the soon to be retired F-15's. I think that W's stand on ABM and anti-sat technology is to be applauded. Especially with Brazil contemplating creating the Latin A-bomb.

This is interesting.
India has been a long-time client of Russia.
Now our defense technology will now link us as ally to those running our help desks in New Dehli.
India (and Japan) need protection from China.
To: edwin hubble
"Now our defense technology will now link us as ally to those running our help desks in New Dehli." They are more than just "help desks," son. They are the brains and technical gurus who keep American companies running and humming smoothly in the digital age. Without them, every Fortune 500 company would be sucking knee-caps.
"India (and Japan) need protection from China."
And also, we need help in protecting our interests from Communist China with the help of India.

And also, we need help in protecting our interests from Communist China with the help of India.Matching up a billion Indians against a billion Chinese is not a bad thing, is it?

Glad you're back, FF, I thought you'd dropped me from your list!
