>I don't think however that Kashmir is enough of a prize for him to give up Afghanistan and bin Laden. Musaraff doesn't give a sh*t about bin Laden and the Taliban and YES he would love to trade Kashmir for it! He is smart enough to see that he is getting a BMW for a Yugo. >If you give him Kashmir now, he'll want something else later ... can't happen. Well, in our world, everybody always wants something, who knows? ISI could set up something else too for another prize,sure. But if he won Kashmir he becomes a legend bigger than bin Laden (which we and our media made him a mythic figure by the way). >Why would the U.S. piss off India just to get bin Laden. Think about this. bin Laden and four five of his top lieutenants and Taliban clerics, all with their long beards and robes, in shackles in the front page and Bush at the next picture "I told you we'll win, I have delivered". Polls soar (helps that this happens near an election), Bush becomes wildly popular from the public who is hysterical that their elected leader WON!...until the next bombing of course:( >There's much more than bin Laden behind this ... they will not give him up just to get Kashmir anyway. Yes, very likely ISI. They will give him up (and several of their commandos) to deliver his head in a silver platter and they will be rewarded with the mother ship, Kashmir. My theory and I stand behind it. Just a theory, I could be wrong and you could be right. what is your theory anyway?
