Nice maneuver... story.news.yahoo.com What's new? "Musharraf has bit the bullet once, by dropping the Taliban under American pressure," said a senior Asian diplomat. "But dropping the Kashmiri cause is asking him to bite a second bullet, and that bullet could well explode in his face." "The frightening thing is that the Pakistanis are so weak on the conventional side as a result of all the sanctions these last 10 years or so," said a senior Western diplomat who has recently served in South Asia. "They don't have nearly as many fighter planes, tanks or even men as India does," the diplomat said.
