US Sells F16s to Pakistan

Hat tip to Poliblog for the link to this story about the U.S. sale of F-16s to Pakistan. I wonder what else we are getting in return. I'm skeptical that this is a simple thank-you for Pakistan's help to date in the war on terrorism. In a recent post, the Asian Times Online suggested that the U.S. might be asking Pakistan for help against Iran in the event of an attack - or perhaps some additional support in rounding up terrorists in its own country.

Indian blogger Bharat Today clearly is not happy with the decision.
