KABUL/NEW DELHI: Without naming Pakistan or its spy agency ISI, India on Saturday said the attack on its embassy in Kabul earlier this week was the handiwork of the enemies of India-Afghan friendship and their "patrons across the border".

NOBEL PRIZE

By Ed Henry CNN Senior White House Correspondent



WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Yes he can win the Nobel Peace Prize. Even on the same day that President Obama met with his war council yet again to consider sending up to 40,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.

President Obama speaks about his Nobel award at the White House on Friday.

The confluence of events -- some might even call it irony -- was a stark reminder that this award was more about the promise of change than actual change. Peace is not at hand in Iraq or Afghanistan, and while the president has articulated a new approach to the world it will be difficult to translate that vision into some actual victories.
"Even as we strive to seek a world in which conflicts are resolved peacefully and prosperity is widely shared, we have to confront the world as we know it today," Obama said in the White House Rose Garden. "I am the commander in chief of a country that's responsible for ending a war and working in another theater to confront a ruthless adversary that directly threatens the American people and our allies."
Let me be clear that I don't buy into any of this silliness from some pundits about how winning such a prestigious honor could backfire on Obama. Becoming only the fourth U.S. president to ever win the Nobel can hardly be spun into a negative.
But it's important to note that the award does not create one job in the U.S. economy. It does not provide one Republican vote on Capitol Hill for the president's health care push. And the challenges are clearly not just on the domestic front.

LCROSS - not to be mistaken for Lacrosse, as that would be silly

Nasa has been successful in its bid to bomb the moon in its search for water, with its LCROSS spacecraft smashing a rocket into the lunar surface earlier today.
Although we are yet to hear if there is actual water beneath the surface of the moon, Nasa streamed the whole explosive affair live on its Nasa TV service, showing workers for the space company whooping and clapping for joy when the empty rocket hit.
Travelling at speeds of 1.6 miles a second the rockets were propelled from Nasa's Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Spacecraft (LCROSS), swiftly followed by a probe rocket.
The probe will be sniffing around to see if any
