It's hard to think of the Pakistanis as bluffing about their intent to go nuclear in case of a indian offensive in the flatlands. But their strategy for riveting the world's attention on the subcontinent is brilliant! Invoke the spectre of nuclear weapons and then back down.

If Musharraf does that, he's hailed as a bigger peacemaker than Sadat and gets showered with $ and praise. But he can't abandon support for Kashmir. So how does he back down without losing face? Answer: International Kashmir Peace Conference and the jihadis have another vindication that the two-legged shaheedi strategy can work to intimidate the international community into seeing the IslamicKingdom's point of view.
