US general criticises Indian influence in Afghanistan

Interesting. Hopefully the US can convince India to play a more productive role (note the word convince. The US does not "control" anyone). India needs the US to help it counterbalance China so hopefully India acquiesces.

The other interesting points of the portions of the report that have been leaked is that elements of ISI are *still *supporting the Taliban and even Shia Iran is supporting some Taliban groups. Does ISI have a suicide wish? When are they going to get over their obsession with "strategic depth"? Afghanistan is absolutely useless in a war against India. It has no wealth, no military to speak of, and a small population. Afghanistan would do nothing in a war with a nation of over a billion people.
