| First Indo-US Executive Steering Group meets |

The Pak general staff must be sitting up at this one. India makes a more natural ally for the US, and would make a lot stronger one than nutbag-infested Pakistan. Pak expects to get a lot of monetary benefit out of its alliance with the US and will be afraid of seeing it evaporate or go next door. Even if the two sides intend to do nothing more than meet and exchange pleasantries, it's a fine club - for both parties - to thump the Paks with. If it turns out Musharraf's playing a double game, which could very well be, or if Musharraf is ousted by the beards, Plan B is already in place. Neat move. Somebody's doing some thinking in Washington. |
