Seriously? You are entitled to whatever opinion you want but your attempts to go after the journalist in question is silly. According to you, there is nothing to bother, right? That position is yours to take but acting like everyone else who doesn't fall in line is gullible, naive or is...

He is a journalist, he has a job to do and it doesn't including saving either DCNS's backside or that of the Indian MoD. He has a story and it's a big one. Not like such stories come around every week. In any case, how on earth is your question relevant? The documents have been around for some...

:lol: That does look interesting...and challenging.....

Funny how we have people running around to make a distinction that doesn't really exist.....

Yup.....no worries whatsoever...so much so that MoD must now make it a practice to ask all such foreign companies to put out this type of information in the public. After all, there is nothing to it, is there....? Don't be too hard on him, what else can he realistically say...?

True that. Never been to Saigon, been to Hanoi though. :D My brother did go to Saigon last month & since he didn't mention anything about the traffic there, I can only assume that he wasn't very impressed......:P

Yup...crazy...but to an Indian, not too much of a worry.

Ya, that's the question being asked...why can't he...?

No other country will look at that treaty.....it's pretty one sided in favour of the lower riparian state. It is an example of Indian generosity that is very rarely acknowledged. So much so that many Pakistan "experts" keep calling for a re-opening of the IWT......India would so love...

That's just a small part of what they want. :lol: Why not? The nation wants to know.....etc..... Why are you bringing facts into the picture.....Very inconsiderate of you..... You don't understand their thinking.....some don't understand.....Period.

Whether Parrikar is a decent or good DM will be known in a couple of years, what he shouldn't be judged by is how many mega billion deals he signs. We still have a tough economy and unless that improves, there will be only a gradual movement even if marked by occasions bursts of energy.

Exactly. No money now. Parrikar gets way too much blame. He runs the MoD on the Indian budget, not the American one.

Kayani was the man who withdrew support. He had no interest in deal post Musharraf. One can surmise that is the more commonly held position in the PA. It has nothing to do with the war on terror etc, common sense would have wanted for a quieter border with India while fighting that battle...

What does clearing $15 billion mean? What time period would that be spread out? I'm sure some of the stuff that gets "cleared" is also of utmost urgency but we are quibbling now. The point is that there is no money, unlike some of the other deals cleared, this one would have required an advance...

Money my dear fellow....Parrikar does not have it....Not like he is sitting on top of a heap of treasure...

...Because everyone wonders why he isn't a magician......why he can't produce the money required for whatever posters here want in their wish list from his backside on demand...... Cash strapped you say? What the heck...? Useless Defence Minister......:mad:

Musharraf & Vajpayee didn't come close, Musharraf & MMS supposedly did but even that would not really have held. The Pakistani military jettisoned the plan immediately after Musharraf's ouster which tells you the level of real support that the plan had. Any idea of open borders in the present...

Nope, doesn't stand. Not outside France. The newspaper is not liable in France, they broke no Australian law. Highly classified information of countries like the U.S. have been revealed elsewhere without a prosecution, other than those directly accused of the leak. The Australian newspaper isn't...

You would be pretty wrong. Tort proceedings & extradition? They wouldn't even be liable, it is not they who have stolen the documents. They published it when had been passed back & forth since 2011. Public good is almost certainly a factor. If what you said could be possible, then you would not...

What exactly is there to discuss on the Kashmir issue? Pakistan wants India to give it up, India doesn't & won't. What discussion is possible in such a scenario? Kashmir is a very difficult problem to resolve to the approval of both the countries.
