The press has their own agendas, look at this one!! Iti s the question of who you are reading, if yuo reading Pakistan's you find things different..a satirical article I suppose...

This was a report from a mole in the White House. The editor had underlined the word ‘mole’ in red pencil and written in the margin, ‘Impossible. Destroy’. Here is the text of the report.
Bush: ‘Mr. Jaswant Singh, the reason why I pulled you away from that meeting was, that at this moment of crisis, the biggest democracy of the world should talk to the largest democracy of the world.’
Jaswant: ‘My very sentiments sir. And may I add sir that I am greatly honoured by this gesture of trust in India that you have shown by granting me a private audience.’
Bush: ‘The purpose of this meeting is to take you into confidence about what we intend to do in Pakistan.’
Jaswant: (happy) O, then you have decided to bomb Pakistan.’
Bush: ‘On the contrary, we have decided to pump in money and material there to stabilise its government.’
Jaswant: (Upset) — ‘That is bad news for India. What I fail to understand is...’
Bush: (Interrupting him). ‘What you fail to understand is that if Pakistan is destabilised you may end up having a Taliban style of government sitting right next door to you. So instead of their being in Kabul with their Kalashnikovs, they would be sitting in Lahore with their nukes and long range missiles.’
Jaswant: ‘I see your point. And yet I want to say that these Pakistanis are bad enough as they are.’
Bush: ‘So what would you want us to do?’
Jaswant: ‘At least get them out of Kashmir.’
Bush: ‘My problem is that the Pakistanis want us to get you out of Kashmir.’
Jaswant: ‘We are the legitimate rulers there. How can they ask you to remove a legitimate ruler. It is they who have in fact taken away part of our Kashmir.’
Bush: ‘My Law Department tells me that unless the Kashmiris decide in a free vote which side they want to go, both you and Pakistan are there unlawfully.’
Jaswant: ‘Kashmir is an integral part of India.’
Bush: ‘Not according to the UN.’
Jaswant: ‘As a friend of India and a powerful member of the Security Council, you can surely make the UN accept our position.’
Bush: ‘We can try but so far no other country in the world accepts your position. All the world maps show Kashmir as a disputed territory. So when we go and tell our NATO friends that India is suffering terrorism they can turn round and say what are they doing in a disputed land any way.’
Jaswant: ‘Our position sir is that India was unfairly divided in 1947. The British did wrong to us by giving chunks of our land to others. Since then we have been trying to get that back. We got back Junagarh and Munawadar from Pakistan, Goa from Portugal, Hyderabad from Nizam and Kashmir from Sheikh Abdullah. All of India is ours regardless of what the International community thinks. We are not on any disputed land. We are on our own land. Therefore, you should bomb Pakistan because that land is ours too. After all what are friends for.’
