Yup. IMO there are far too many on the take and sympathetic, or a part of, the jihad that reside in Pakistan; including many in the Pakistani military and special services. That's why (again IMO) we have not caught binny-boy and other major players. Also why I would not be surprised to wake up tomorrow and sadly hear that Musharaf (sp?) has been assassinated and a successful coup has transpired. But, I sincerely hope I never hear that.

Interesting. These guys want Musharraf out, in a major way. (Article was posted earlier, I believe, but worth the read).

But now China steps up to the plate, so to speak, and wants Musharraf to stay on as President (for the safety of their investments, of course).

China to 'double' investment
By Staff Reporter

LAHORE, Dec 19: China's private and public sectors would double their investment in Pakistan during the next couple of years, according to a federal minister.

Federal Science and Technology Minister Naurez Shakoor, who accompanied the prime minister during his visit to China, told reporters here on Sunday.

He said the government would set up industrial parks where the Chinese investors would be free to make investment and get a number of concessions. This, he said, was like a breakthrough.

The minister said the two countries would also exchange delegations of scientific experts and students. The minister, who is also provincial president of the PPP-Patriots, said President Musharraf would stay in uniform in the larger interest of the country. Musharraf's dual role, he said, would give the country stability.
