Doin' the nuclear deal and then sellin' a few weapons

it's just another day for george and the u.s. defense industry...
The United States said on the heels of a landmark civilian nuclear cooperation pact with India on Thursday that it was prepared to sell advanced warplanes and other high-tech arms to the south Asia nation.

and then, georgie-porgie hops up to islamabad where the pakis and the indians have been sniping at each other for quite a few decades now, kashmir is still in dispute and musharraf has stalled on elections since his takeover six years ago... oh, yes, and btw, the u.s. sells boatloads of weaponry to pakistan too but why write a news story and bother adding in the history and the context... that might actually inform people and we certainly wouldn't want THAT, now would we...?
