The Wall Street Journal is reporting the Bush administration is preparing to announce a major shift in relations with Pakistan and India. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is visiting both countries this week and is expected to suggest that the United States is now willing to sell F-16 fighter jets to both countries. According to the Journal the high-profile sales would be a final step toward tacit acceptance of both countries’ possession of nuclear weapons. It also could draw charges of a double standard from European countries. The U.S. has been criticizing the European Union’s plan to lift its arms embargo on China.
