You have to wonder if Musharaf would welcome a limited conventional incursion into Kashmir to create a skirmish with India. This could potentially create cohesion within his own country by re-establishing the external enemy (India) as the bigger threat than any actions taking place in Afghanistan. Perhaps there would be less fundamentalist pressure on him concerning his relationship with the US.

You are right. It's good thinking from his side but this time it won't work for him. He has gone too far, he will be rested soon.
