In order to contain China Bush is attempting to control the flow of oil to the Middle Kingdom. The US is building India as a counterpoise to China. Myanmar is a key country to this effect. If India succeeds in building a port at Dawei this will be of great help to Washington.
However, India is also looking to develop the Andaman Sea, without cooperation from China. India is unlikely to move towards cooperation with Beijing on this issue because New Delhi sees building a port at Dawei, Myanmar as a major component to its security strategy for the region. The port will support its Far Eastern Naval Command project at Port Blair, which is aimed at gaining "blue water" status for India's Navy, affording India the ability to launch military operations away from its coast. #msg-7086905
We are contributing to the NCUB who "have been recruiting terrorists, giving explosives training and sending demolitionists into the country enticing them with cash rewards to carry out explosions." As much of these ‘donations’ are under the table and Myanmar is our main focus, it is impossible to come up with the real amount we are contributing to these terrorists. China views the Andaman Sea off Myanmar's coast as an important source of oil to fuel the economic expansion of China's western provinces and Bush would like to control the flow of all oil. #msg-4186355 #msg-7067706

a high-level Naval delegation would visit the US soon to look at American Naval minesweepers and troop and equipment landing ships.
Thus India will probably be invading Myanmar by authority of the US.
Also note that the United States has apparently given India approval to use warplanes in Kashmir taking the conflict between nuclear powers India and Pakistan to dangerous levels and as a means to contain and threaten nuclear China.
The Indian government announced the use of air force against militants the day Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh returned from his visit to the United States. #msg-7170699
