You are right, it is speculation on my part.

But if I was viewing our ‘speculations’ as an independent observer, I would weight mine more (not being egoist here at all) because the WaPo article is a sham and distorts the controversy whereas the minister’s tantrum is political and made semse from the left’s point of view.

Aware that I was speculating, I conditioned my surmises with phrases like:

This might well explain ...

He likely got a heads-up...

And, no, I would not take a wager against your interpretation in favor of mine. Let's just wait and see if Mohammed goes to the mountain.

Here is a fascinating headline that just popped up:

India will not sign binding emission cuts-minister

NEW DELHI - India will not accept a legally binding emission cut nor a peak year of carbon emissions at the global climate talks in Copenhagen, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said on Thursday. "There is no question of India accepting a legally binding emission reduction cut," he told parliament, laying out India's negotiating position ahead of the December talkshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2401034/posts

Do I recall correctly that one of the stated reasons for postponing the trip was to facilitate the cooperation of China and India? Whatever is going on, I bet Obama wishes he were not going to the party at all not just coming in fashionably late.
