Flood Devastation Seen as Occasion to Pressure Pakistan to Lower Indian Threat Assessment

"The Pakistan army is unlikely to change its assessment of the threat from India despite heavy demands on its troops to provide flood relief while also fighting Islamist militants, a senior security official said", says the Reuters story No change seen in Pakistan's view of India threat.

If one may ask, what have the Indians done to deserve such a a re-appraisal? Have they demobilized their Pakistan-specific forces and sent the men to staff candy factories? Have they dismantled their nukes and used the scrap to make trikes for Pakistani children? Is the RAW now taken to social development work? Have they pulled out of Kashmir?

The tack? An earlier speculative story from the WSJ: "The Wall Street Journal said this month Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency had decided -- for the first time in the country's history -- that Islamist militants had overtaken India as the greatest threat to national security."
