Wow - this surprised the heck out of me!

Joe Biden to visit Pakistan to defuse tension

Daily Times Monitor

LAHORE: United States vice-president-elect Joseph Biden will arrive in Pakistan on a two-day visit this week to defuse the tension between Pakistan and India after the Mumbai terror attacks, a private TV channel reported on Sunday.

The channel quoted diplomatic sources as saying that a high-level congressional delegation would also accompany Biden.

The delegation would meet President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to discuss the war on terror in Pakistan, Pak-India relations and a $15 billion aid package for Islamabad.

The sources said the US delegation is likely to arrive in Pakistan on January 9.

I wonder who's going with him from Congress? Hopefully Sec Service will also be there to protect the VP of the United States, and his cronies.
