#1 "peace would soon established there."

Probably true. But remember, there are two ways to peace - victory, or surrender.

#2 Musharraf rejects Centcom chief's offer of troops

Perhaps we should have Don Corleone make the next "offer".

#3 Gives me a bit of pleasure to hear that particular Admiral being told to bugger off.

#4 Think about it. Fallon made the offer just so that Perv could arrogantly refuse it, thus showing that Pakistan is its own country. The evidence is that a press release was put out about it. Were the offer "genuine", it would be discreet, with no mention in the media.

But of course accepting "only" "intelligence sharing and technical assistance", is worth its weight in gold. This means that we will give the Pak army names and biometrics, locations, communications intercepts, enemy maneuver information, etc. All they have to do is the actual loot 'n' shoot.

#5 Or, you know, "leak and surrender". Once you put that information out there, you have no control over what the recipients do with it.
