Pak pledged 'permanent' action to end infiltration, Armitage tells India

Of course, blowing up everything in that part of the world would pretty much put a permanent stop to anybody crossing the border, but I don't think that's what he meant. Despite what I said in the post below, I think Musharraf is trying to get out of this. I just think it might be too late, and that if he backs off now he'll be killed and replaced by someone with Islamist sympathies. We weren't doing Musharraf any favors by looking the other way back when this was getting started.
