WASHINGTON: The US does not want to arm Pakistan against India, President Barack Obama had categorically told his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari during a meeting at the Oval Office months after assuming the top American office.

"We do not begrudge you being concerned about India," Obama had told Zardari at the meeting on May 7, 2009, which was also attended by the Pakistan President's son Bilawal, according to a new book.

This was a chance for the two Presidents to forge a personal connection, writes award-winning investigative American journalist Bob Woodward in his latest book 'Obama's War' that hit the stands today.

"... we do not want to be part of arming you (Pakistan) against India, so let me be very clear about that," Obama, who assumed office in January 2009, had said.

1. Pakistan is a Problem ,,,

terror groups have free rain. There intelligence services have ties to Al-Quieda. They did not go after the group that attacked Mumbai.


India has shown restraint that few other nations would show in dealing with a neighbor like Pakistan. If Pakistan did not have nukes I would say, Let us take India's leach off and let them take care of Pakistan.
