| Musharraf says he supports Iranian gas pipeline |
| 2006-02-14 |
 ISLAMABAD - Pakistan’s leader said Monday he supports building a pipeline that would carry gas from Iran to Pakistan and India - a project the US has opposed. Pakistan needs more gas because the nation’s economy has become stronger in the past two years, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf told a visiting group of journalists from the US and Asia.“Pakistan wants gas. Iran wants to sell it. What is the problem?” Musharraf said. |

| #4 Ah, thanks john. I just fig'ged Pervy was hoping for a little (more) "special" treatment... To add the ability to blackmail (or worse) India certainly ups the ante and explains his (soon to be dashed) hopes, lol. |

| #3 Yep. It has to pass thru Bugti and Mazari homelands. The real reason Pakistan wants it is that it thinks it can use the pipeline to blackmail India. Once Indian industry becomes dependent on the gas, the paks can threaten to turn it off during dispute over Kashmir. |

| #2 Would this pipeline go through Bugti territory so it could be blown up regularly, like Pakistan's current gas pipeline? |
