India says, almost!
In its June 28-29 issue, the International Herald
Tribune carried a New York Times report that India
was "split" on the issue of sending troops to Iraq.
"Indian officials say their soldiers will not serve
under direct U.S. military command and have asked for
the creation of a joint command structure. Citing
concerns that Iraqis will view them as occupiers,
officials have also asked for a specific time-table
for forming an independent government.
"U.S. officials have declined to give specific dates.
Previously, they said it could take as long as two
years," the report said.
