| Pak-India Standoff Heats Up as Snow Falls |

| One senior State Department official confided off the record this week that after recent reports from New Delhi and Pakistan, "Iraq and North Korea might turn out to be this year's second level crises." Even with the winter snows closing many of the passes through which Pakistani-backed guerrillas/terrorists have traditionally made their way into Kashmir, infiltration levels are rising ominously, the official added. And it was getting tougher to talk the Indian government out of taking the kind of pre-emptive action that the United States advocates in its own new national security doctrine. "We can't talk to the Indians about whether or not they would be right to strike, only about whether it would be smart," the official said. Swell, just what we need. |

| #3 Hafiz Saeed is out of jail again. He'll be back to work now, trying to start a war between Pak and India, expecting to set up a radioactive khalifate. |

| #2 Nah, this is just somebody trying to turn up the heat on the burner again. The stove has to be kept warm, so once in a while one side has to add their crap to the fire. |

| #1 I hope that we have good contingency plans for our troops to get the hell out of Pak quickly when the fireworks display starts. |
