Gates widening partnership with India

Secretary Gates is looking to enhance security ties with India

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates is slated to leave today for India to discuss the comprehensive, strategic partnership between the United States and India, and ways to expand it to provide broader regional security.
Gates is to visit with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who President Barack Obama feted in late November with his administration’s first state dinner.
Gates last visited India in February 2008, but has interacted regularly with his counterparts there as part of the broad pattern of U.S. engagement that includes not only security, but also a range of other issues, a senior defense official told reporters.


What does this do to the battle lines we discussed earlier?
