A few days ago the US Secretary of defence, Robert Gates said that India would not have unlimited patience if there was another 26/11 style attack on the country.Today the US has decided to supply 12 Shadow Drones( UAVs or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to Pakistan. These UAVs will be supplied as unarmed vehicles to Pakistan.
A UAV is specifically used for reconnaissance missions and it can considerably improve a country's surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.Gates did not respond to a question whether the US would impose a condition that the drones could not be used along the Indo-Pak Border.
The US has in the past supplied weapons and weapon technology to Pakistan in the name of fighting terror. However as Pervez Musharraf revealed last year, these weapons were used mostly for the Pakistani army posted on the Indo-Pak Border.
The US should now make its stand clear. While it is supporting India by saying we will not tolerate another 26/11 style attack, it is supporting Pakistan by supplying it technology which will most likely be used to spy on India. The Shadow drones have a range of about 110 Km which means defence establishments can be spied on in the border region very easily.And add to that we have a leader who is like a puppet of the Americans.

Which leader are you talking about? Manmohan Singh?
thats for u to guess.i wont take names
We love to hate our neighbours, don't we?
Dude, the bottomline is that USA can't do without Pakistan. Its like that Pakistan Govt is a guy waiting to commit suicide. USA knows that the govt is involved with terrorists but the Govt also threatens that take any sanctions and i will shoot myself. You will then have a bunch of terrorists to negotiate with. So given a choice between the BAD (Pak Govt) and the WORST(Terrorists trying to overrun pakistan), USA prefers to stick to the BAD and keep it happy. India too understands the dilemma and is left with nothing else to do except to give some passing comment to calm the masses and show the world that we are not sissies. This is not how things should be resolved.
