He also said: “”We cannot tolerate in any sense the idea that this country is allowed to look both ways and is able, in any way, to promote the export of terror, whether to India or whether to Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world.”

No sounds on the Sky vid :'( .
Cameron is being foolish in appearing to take sides in the Pakistan-India dispute in this fashion.
Hmm, I’ve got sound on that video…
He’s got nothing to lose by upsetting a country which is only nominally on our side really.

If its a choice between one ally or two indifferent countries then India is the logical preference.
Got the sound when downloaded to Realplayer 😀 .
