Please give me the reference so I could read. It may be right though Musharraf or any of the top military folks never mentioned this which is kind of strange since if that is true, they would have spoken to grab the credit. At any rate, the point remains that NS did not bow down to the US pressure.
Here's the reference.
DAWN.COM | Pakistan | Sartaj Aziz opposed N-tests: book
There are some other statements as well that may depict a different picture. This is just one of the perceptions.
Also you are comparing two different things. Nuclear tests are something which we simply couldn't have lived without. It was absolute necessity and would have happened even if 10% was the helms man at the time. Things like support for Taliban government were only secondary objectives and we could have lived without them (in fact perhaps better off).
