mending fences w/Israel is part a deal - the only way Bush can get Pakistan assistance in nuclear energy matters. Knowledgable people are correctly interpreting the US India nuclear deal as an economic coup for energy hungry India. Bush cannot openly give that to Pakistan (until either Osama is caught or AQK organization is seen publicly disbanded), so they’re creating the Israel channel.

In addition to support in Afganistan & nuc.(non)proliferation, US also needs two more things from Pakistan - osama and further change in Kashmir posture

JJB, when I said that the Americans expect Pakistani support in two matters only:
i) War on terror in Afghanistan
ii) Nuclear proliferation
I meant the OBL capture as well; we believe that he is in one of those 12 provinces which are beyond the Kabul administration. As far as the nuclear issue is concerned, the Americans are not going to cooperate in nuclear field for atleast some time to come, and thats based on alot of factors(our track record being one them). As far as the US-India nuclear coup is concerned, thats very debateable. Alot of Indians are also not happy with the deal, because with the deal the Indian government has to differ b/w the military and a civilian nuclear plants/reactors, which according to many experts is not an easy task, and some also consider it as a watchful eye of the Americans on the Indian nuclear program. I’m also aware that the Pakistani government asked for a similar agreement with the American admin. which has been refused. It is true that if Pakistan recognises the state of Isreal, it would be much easier for the American government to provide nuclear technology to both Isreal and Pakistan, but again there isn o presuure to recognise Isreal.
