Brent has an interesting theory about Rumsfeld's visit to India and Pakistan. "Rumsfeld is letting those guys know that if they prepare their nuclear missiles for launch the U.S. military will take those missiles out." BTW, I think they're sending Rumsfeld because Powell struck out in the Middle East.   [Scripting News]

Did Powell strike out or did they give him the take sign and he got beaned anyway? Rumsfeld is going because he is military and this is a military threat. Powell goes where we aren't going to threated to 'whip it out' so to speak. He is a statesman and the time for that has past in the India/Pakistan situation.

I'm kinda suprised China hasn't told both of them to put a lid on it. The last thing China wants is a war. Or at least, that's my theory...
