One of the most significant master strokes of the Bush Presidency and as usual ignored by almost everyone on the right and the left.

India is a massive strategic counter weight to China and yet the the Right’s critics of Chinese hegemony fail to take any account of this incredible coup in international affairs.

Thanks for the post.

Obama is an empty space and war will eventually fill that vacuum.

India should not have allowed itself to become a part of the BRIC cartel.

Three of the member nations are communist.

One is socialist.

All 4 are actively seeking to dump and destroy the dollar. We largely made China and India what they are today.

Once again, no good deed goes unpunished.

I say let all the BRIC nations turn against each other.

Obama's been anally raping US interests since inauguration, particularly US interests overseas, so, this one has gotta be Bush's fault.

...due to a perceptible hardening in the Chinese stance. Anti-India rhetoric in the state-run Chinese media has intensified, even as China has stepped up military pressure along the disputed Himalayan frontier through cross-border incursions. Beijing also has resurrected its long-dormant claim to the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, nearly three times as large as Taiwan. The more muscular Chinese stance clearly is tied to the new U.S.-India strategic partnership, symbolized by the nuclear deal and deepening military cooperation. As President George W. Bush declared in his valedictory speech, "We opened a new historic and strategic partnership with India."

See, there it is.

No problem - Obama will apologize to both of them...

Countries downgraded or shunned by Obama might have an opportunity through strengthening their own cooperation and lessening their need for the US. An example is Israeli/Indian military cooperation. Israeli technology and Indian resources could strengthen both of them as Obama caters to Marxists and totalitarian regimes.

The Stronger stance between US and India has ticked off the Chinese and infuriated the Russians.

India is a democratic country.Her people are just about the only ones on earth that have a positive opinion of the US.I hope she's preparing herself,militarily,because she shares a border with two desperately dangerous...and nuclear armed...countries.

>.Obama is undertaking an Asia tour that begins in Japan and ends in China — the high spot — while skipping India

Well, of course, current PC GroupThink mores in the US see only Orientals as Asians, and the Pacific Islanders.

From the viewpoint of the Obamawallahs, WTF are the Injuns wee-weed about...they aren’t ASIAN Asian.

But, objectively is it that big a snub when PM Singh is coming here soon, dunno if that’s accurate. If not, then it kinda is.

But to visit India and not Pakistan, especially now would have raised a conundrum, especially IMO there’s no way the Secret Service wanted a stop in Islamabad and a midnight stop a la Clinton wouldn’t have looked good.

Well, Obamawallahs won’t like it, but this certainly a tilt to China and Pakistan that has Nixonian overtones. Heh.

[La Enchiladita]

FYI ... in case you haven’t seen.

Obama is quietly enabling our enemy’s.

He is giving them the signal. “All Clear”

[mylife]

Obama blew off the Dahli Lama. Thats all we need to know about his intentions

However, this cuisine is now starting to appear in America.

What are the strategic implications.

Granted, a Wiki link, so statements may not match reality or facts, but this topic seems fairly balanced...
