Bush to push Indians, Pakistanis to resolve Kashmir
2006-02-23
US President George W. Bush said on Wednesday he would push the leaders of India and Pakistan to resolve their long-standing conflict over Kashmir during his visit to the South Asian nations next week. “I will encourage them to address this important issue,” Bush said ahead of his meetings with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.

Noting that the two governments were now engaged in a dialogue about the difficult question, Bush said they “now have an historic opportunity to work toward lasting peace. “For too long, Kashmir has been a source of violence and distrust between these two countries,” he said.
He just plows ahead, doesn't he? Port flap, what port flap? He's got an agenda and he's going to get it done.

#4  No Way Hosea! Your asking both war torn, impoverish nations to look down into the lush green fields and blue water flowing valleys of near paradise, to turn and forget what they have seen as not worth it?! There's only two solutions; nuke each other over it, or nuke Kashmir to stop the prior!

#3  Kashimr will not be resolved because India is in the strong position and won't give, and Mushariff can't lose face without losing his job (life) by giving in. Even a compromise split down the middle is unlikely at this point.

I expect as Iraq because hostile to foriegn fighters they move to Checnya and Kashmir to keep the battle going and regroup.

#2  I hope he is paying attention to the port flap because it has a strong possibility of turning into much more than a flap and is due primarily to political incompetence within his administration. He needs to recognize that the MSM is a major enemy, not only of his administration, but of the nation's interests. His administration needs to take more proactive efforts to manage the media spin machine. Bring back Mike Deaver.

If he doesn't fix this problem, his administration will be ground to a halt by all the sand being thrown in the gears.
