India not a threat to Pakistan

Mr Zardari has been under intense pressure to divert military spending from its erstwhile "front line" on its eastern border with India to its rebellious tribal belt along the Afghan border, which is largely under Taliban control.

"I do not consider India a military threat; the question is that India has the capability. Capability is what matters. [With regard to] intention I think we both have our good intentions," he said.

"India is a reality, Pakistan is a reality, but Taliban are a threat, an international threat to our way of life. And at the moment, I'm focused on the Taliban. It's something that has been going on for a long time and of course went unchecked under the dictatorial rule of the last president," he said in Brussels during a meeting with European Union officials.

Now there is some realism I can appreciate. It has been clear for some time that the real threat to Pakistan was the from the religious bigotry of the Taliban with their control freak agenda. It is past time that the Pakistan government realized this and started eliminating the threat that is the most imminent.
