IBN New Flash- the standard kangressi response: "Pranab tells Pak FM peace process will be affected". How very touching! Oh Pakis are so scared now, they do not know where to run for cover!

I very much liked Andersen's comparison of India's security crisis with the US financial crisis. I was thinking the same thing myself.

So what if he is called incompetent by So many people (now even US commentators are saying, even Commies have called for his resignation), so long as he has Madam's blessing, no one can do anything. Maino ka haath idiots ke saath.
