#1 Three cheers for honest spooks!

Here's hoping that India might return the favor and send a brigade or two to help the Afghans with their problem, at the same time getting in some high quality training--a bargain at the price.

#2 I am fairly certain there are Indian operatives in Afghanistan, but that's just my opinion.... John Frum would know.

#3 Given the level of cooperation, it almost goes without saying that India's Intell Service has a number of operatives working with the Afghan government.

I guess you would say that they have a common enemy...the ISS. The Paks are playing a dangerous game. India is galloping ahead as a technology giant and has a far more robust economy. India has the resources and the animosity to conduct military operations in the trans Afghan border region.

The fact that those idiots in Al Qaeda are trying to set up shop in India makes Indian involvement in Afghanistan all the more plausible and probable.

It seems that when a nation that gets in bed with Bin Laden and his cronies, the social order and effectiveness of the central government crumbles.

I predict that Pakistan will disintegrate into a series of tribal fiefdoms ruled by warlords much like Somolia if they do not get a grip on it and do something to preserve their sovereignty.
