Interesting but pessimistic take from SAAG.ORG

Not only the American are worried about losing their best friend in Pakistan, they are also worried about a Jehadi general succeeding Musharraf and letting the Al Qaeda and Osma Bin Laden on the nuclear secrets.

Hence where do we in the west stand today:

General Musharraf is a marked man. Sooner or later an assassin will get to him.
American policy in Pakistan will fall flat on its face as soon as Musharraf is not there.
Nuclear weapons in Pakistan could pass into the unsafe hands of a Jehadi general.
Al Qaeda is sure to get hold of enough Uranium and technology to build a crude bomb, sooner than later.
War with India is a certainty, as the new regime will shore up support for itself by starting a war.
Taliban may return to Afghanistan and start terror network all over again.
Iranians will make the full disclosure about their nuclear assets and put their nuclear ambitions on hold.
Libya has already turned around after 25 years of its quest for peace with honor with the West (It may have recently achieved it with full disclosure of its nuclear assets).
Libya is about to disclose that they transferred $1billion to Pakistan in 1978 and stole enough Uranium ore from Chad for Pakistan to build a bomb.
It is just a matter of time that the North Koreans will make a similar disclosure that they got their nuclear technology from Pakistan. The irony is that the Iranians got it in 1984-85, the North Koreans got it in 1998-99. To the latter will be hard for Musharraf to deny or blame a few individual scientists. In this case army was eager to get missile technology from the North Koreans, hence traded a nuclear centrifuge for missiles.

In conclusion, one can say only one thing with great certainty that Americans have been sweet talked into believing Pakistani Army and its ideals. In fact it is a rogue army, lead by rogue generals and helped by rogue scientists and nuclear engineers. America watch out.
