#1 India has been reluctant to sign up for the project, as it fears Pakistan could cut off fuel supplies to New Delhi if hostilities broke out.

Oh, giggle. As if that would be the only reason the pipeline would be shut down. There would be so many attacks on it from start to finish that even Rantburg couldn't catalog them all.

And consider the bribe money that would flow to get the thing built and keep it going. That would fund every goof with a turban and AK in the country, and that's a lot of people.

Perhaps India could invest in some LP ships?

#2 "We have long record on peaceful uses of nuclear energy," Sinha told reporters. "We have nuclear energy plants in our country. There are other civilian uses of nuclear energy. Most certainly between Iran and India, there would be collaboration."

One thing he didn't mention - India has the Bomb, too.

#3 I am baffled at why India would assist the Islamic Republic of Iran in developing the bomb.

#4 Where does India get her oil supply? India is not going to help the Mad Mullahsâ¢ of Iran unless there is a serious something in it for them.

#5 The only possibility I can come up with is that it's easier to keep track of what's going on if you're on the inside, instead of the outside. I'd bet turban money that some of those Indian "workers" know a lot more about a lot more things than their resume indicates.

#6 India doesn't regard the Shias as a threat. If not for the ayatollocracy, we probably wouldn't either.
