#4 Meanwhile...pressure from the IMF...

Will Perv cancel the 3 billion dollar F-16 order and the 1 billion dollar Eyrie-AWACS order ?

Not very likely...

Pakistan's military leadership will face pressure Monday on the international stage, when they attend an international donors conference in Geneva.

The International Monetary Fund is trying to keep a close eye on how Pakistan's government is spending the money that is coming into the country through international appeals.

IMF Managing Director Rodrigo de Rato emerged this week from meetings with Gen. Musharraf and Mr. Aziz with a suggestion that rippled through Pakistan's military leadership -- he suggested diverting money from the military to fund relief efforts.

"I think the defence expenditure needs to be reassessed under the circumstances," Mr. de Rato declared publicly after the meetings.

#5 And Perv will condemn the villagers to death because the mere sight of Indian airforce choppers will destroy Pak honor and dignity

Alarm grows over scale of disaster

Nato commanders say they cannot find enough helicopters. About 69 helicopters are involved in the rescue effort; a further 24 US aircraft and three British Chinooks are due to arrive next week.

India could provide dozens of helicopters but an offer of help is mired in history and politics.
