"In fact, what has India provided to the US for the war against Afghanistan and Iraq? "

India (you now conveniently forget in the light of new found friendship with Pakistan) was the first country to declare "unconditional" support in you war in Afganistan. Your country chose Pakistan. And thereafter supporting your country in Iraq was out of question.

"US is giving more options to India with F-16s, F-18E/Fs and a lip service to suggesting to make India another Super Power."

Everybody in India takes this "US wanting to make India a superpower" thing with buckets of salt. I seriously doubt it could be politically wise for the government to buy F-16s after all this fiasco.

Let me change the question to make it more clear. Did India fight against Taliban in Afghanistan or the Taliban in the hideouts in Pakistan? If there was unconditional support, why were our troops unable to drive through India and through Kasmir area to enter Afghanistan? Does India recognize US could only rely on Pakistan to send force from ground, even it was rejected? What do you see around Afghanistan other than Pakistan? The only other countries with access from sea were Iran and China. Yes, Pakistan did not allow US forces to drive through Pakistan, but at least hunted down Taliban hideouts even it was not enough. Pakistan has considered at least to send troops to Iraq under UN supervision, even though it was rejected. What about India? Yes, Pakistan had not done enough but at least done something that deserves F-16s. Why is it wrong to reward for the help? Do you trust countries that do not reward for help?
