Looks good, TARP was an overwhelming success. Props to the Bush administration for pushing that through. Personally I would have preferred if they had liquidated some of the banks, but this is ok too.

Good writeup. Saudi Arabia has been following a policy of stealth imperialism in the last 40 years, rolling back local versions of Islam and financing their own pet version - the cause of Pakistan's new fascination with being Arap instead of Turkish or Persian as Pullikeshi noted above. Now many arg...

What is amazing though is that a man with pretty much no technical skills or developed any particular product to sell has built up one of the world's largest business empires.

The mushroom shaped balloon/s are awesome. Nice camera resolution too.

Berkshire is different from all the hedge funds and mutual funds etc. in the sense that they are really more of a conglomerate than an investment firm, they make everything from See's candies to insurance to railroads. BRK has a huge investment portfolio but most of its value is from the companies i...

Innocent pooch - have we tried to ever get the Tu-160?

Carl_T

Well you are talking about leaving the UN, so how would your idea be better than status quo?

Carl_T

With all the problems the UN has, how would India be better off if it were to leave the UN? I don't see how it would serve any Indian interests.

I think he already gave that to Gordon Brown.

Wow that is crazy.

I wonder if in the US, a fighter pilot were to come out of the closet. Under DADT would they discharge him from the military?

Carl_T

Why does the LCA engine affect the MRCA? The MRCA is a big order in itself, so I think we would feel the effects of economies of scale even if we selected different engines right?

Carl_T

I think so too, and not to mention the LCA engine is only a temporary measure until the SDRE engine is ready....right?

Timing is pretty much impossible to do, the only strategy proven to work is long term fundamental value oriented investing. With that view you will be comparatively safer in both bubbles and sharp drops.

If I am not mistaken they are group of Hindu Sanyasis/Mahants who were part of the plaintiffs in the case. And they a share in the property too. While the Waqf Board have every right for appeal in Hon.SC, the findings and the judgements of the Hon.HC is now recorded and out in the open. With a larg...

I don't think "FIX" means giving up Kashmir, but more probably something like make LoC permanent border, peace in South Asia etc.

You have to go back to shiv's point - in this area the US is weak and has no choice apart from appeasing the TSPA. Is the US going to publicly open another front in the war when Obama has made a hard deadline of July 2011? At the same time 26/11 scared the US as well. Brings the question, who is the...

That ExcelRod dude is being feted out by US media, disregarding the fact that he is a political operative. I gagged when I saw Jon Stewart coddle his crown jewels "to warm it" during an interview :roll: :lol: Link? Wonder what makes him different than Karl Rove or James Carville to a Thir...

Not even close, give me a break. US thinks twice about even selling pistols to Palestinians, it supports Israel on every issue blindly & slavishly. US even wants to go to war with Iran to protect Israel, and the war on terror includes Hamas and Hezbollah whose primary targets are Israel and not...

Carl_T

^^^^Pretty much the same US policy being followed with Israel.

Obama is simply saying, "Give away Kashmir to make Pak happy and give China a clear pathway to the IOR giving them control of their near abroad so they will cooperate more with us so that I can get them to give up jihadism that threatens my country, and I will reward you with a UN seat." ...

Is a UNSC seat something for the US to hand over?

While not related to strategic relations, interesting article on the Obama White House "brain".

It was only superficially influenced by indic ideas. Watch Hare Krishna Hare Ram.

India does not need to "reduce" or "increase" anything. That has to be decided by the market rather than any kind of strategic planning. With that said, India is not really optimized for farming unlike the US so in the future, agriculture will certainly decrease. India's main ass...

They look pretty much the same to me. Maybe some guru here can help us.

only canards.

The MKI's canopy hump is higher, and I think the main difference is the plane the fuselage and wings are in seems to be slightly tilted upwards, while the nose pointing down is more distinct. Overall the MKI is more "wavy" while the Mig looks "flatter".

I've been looking through this thread. Any information on clinical tests that show GMO food is harmful?

I don't think the government should be promoting any particular seeds. Rather I wish they'd run a few tests on this to make the information public.

This post has self destructed.

Can we create a football thread? There is interest in football on this forum, and the World Cup one has been sent to jannat.

The most important aspect of this "meltdown" is that it has exposed the game /the rules/ the players / the dynamics/ the unspoken and hidden actions of the entire world economy / monetary system(s) / capital markets etc. Of course there may have been people (quite a few) who always knew o...

SSC - Are they going to keep the length of tenure the same but just open it up to SSC candidates? Considering the huge cost and time needed to train a pilot, 5 years seems short

we should have never bid for the CWG , instead we should have spent this money on improving our large city's, as i said before we need more public toilets, we need garbage bins around the city;s and need to educate the masses on keeping the city cleans, hopefully this global shame would wake the ba...

I love how Satyam first said that they were going to present audited financials soon, triggering a 25% rally in the stock. Then a few days later they said they were delisting sending it crashing down again. Wondering how many of the insiders profited. Jai ho.

I sincerely dont think there is a difference between the two. Possible. The reason I said that was because we shouldn't throw around "Islamism" as a euphenism for "Islam" if one believes there are no differences. If one believes there are differences, then we should be able to c...
