There are voices within MSM that are trying desperately to to keep our population informed of many events they see as counterproductive to the WOT.
List 'em, por favor.

This Pakistani dictator is playing Bush for a fool. After the 911 attack he played wargames to determine whether he could stand against us. He wisely thought that that would be suicidal and decided to pretend to be a great ally while at the same time refusing to take action against the radical islamics in his country. He has thwarted every effort to kill or capture Osama Bin Ladin and continues to this day to aid the Taliban and Al Qaeda. I believe the so called assassination attempts against him in Pakistan are manufactured. He is playing the US like a fiddle. He will continue his duplicity as long as we allow him to do so.

List 'em, por favor.
I'll give an example.
About two weeks ago, either Fox News or CNN had an interview of an US Army Ranger Captain on patrol along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. He cited the sudden increase in al Qaeda fighters crossing over into Afghanistan from Pakistan. This was after the Pakistan-Regional Tribal peace accord and prison release. The captain also stated that al Qaeda militants sent to Iraq to learn bomb making techniques in use there had begun appearing in Afghanistan to attack our troops and the civilian population.
Another example from tonight's NBC news. I can't stand Lester (always looks like he's ready to start laughing at any moment) Holts, but give him and the network credit for reporting the bombing attacks against our troops and the civilian population in Afghanistan has reached an all-time high. This is an important news story in light of our continued alliance with Pakistan, and the woefully inadequet assistance they have given to the WOT.
Not all the criticism of President Bush is coming from Democrats and liberals. Many people, Republicans and conservatives, are upset President Bush is not doing more, and living up to his promise to seek out our enemies wherever they may be, and countries that harbor them. Pakistan is such a country.

Musharraff seems to have a bug stuck up his butt these days... something (we probably don't know about) must have really ticked him off or scared him

LOL! A newly invented word, in search of a definition. Wonder if somewhere out there on the net there is a list of definitions in search of a word?

Count me in on the realization that this book has been done/written for more than one reason....but...
Wouldn't it be great if politics could be left out of all the various "moves" by EVERYone, and the good of the people would be everyone's driving force?
It sickens me, but it's the nature of the beast...I realize that too.

Here's a hypothetical....
What's happens to the lawless lands of Pakistan if Bin Ladin lets loose a dirty nuke in NYC?
Can we get Special Forces into Pakistan now?

Hypotheticals and theories rightly belong in the realm of fantasy, and all things considered, so does the likelihood of a living, breathing and still plotting our demise; Osama Bin Laden.
Should the fiend chosen to replace Bin and still plotting our end,set off a nuke of any sort anywhere in the United States. (Doubtfully in New York, 'city or state' or any other terrorist friendly blue area) It would be time (past time) to launch every weapon at our disposal and within our capability to produce, against the terrorists and every country on earth that gives them refugee, support, sympathy, trades with them, and the UN building and the UN itself, without which they long ago would have been neutralized.
"Can we get Special Forces into Pakistan now?" Nah, better allow a few millenniums for things to cool down.

Umm,consider this scenario
.An all out conventional war which starts on the pre-text of grave terrorist attacks on India-both sides slug it out for about 15 days & If India plays its cards right-it will have gained territory in Kashmir,Sindh & portions of the Punjab,in adddition to control of Pakistan's SeaLanes.Before such a war goes nuclear Beijing will mobilise it's troops on India's borders to upset India's applecart.Even if China doesn't go to war with INdia,it will not allow Pakistan to sink without a fight.If it means keeping the regime alive in Islamabad by using its diplomatic clout,so be it.Pakistan has been China's insurance policy for nearly 50 years now against India.
In the event of a seminal clash with Pakistan,India will emerge stronger in the long-term,but it would be wounded in the short-term.Trust Beijing to use the likes of Bangladesh or Myanmaar to rub salt.

Err,the last time elections were held to Pakistan's parliament in 2002,Musharraf backed the very Islamist parties you fear so as to nullify the alliance between the established democratic parties.It's a big ruse to imagine that these Islamic parties are all powerful -they can not lift a finger without the military allowing it-they raised them afterall.
& Oh,for the nth time,the ISI is not independent of the Pakistani miilitary apparatus.The view that they are a shady,all powerful group of thugs suits the generals-who can look clean.

I think it's the difference between having about half the country want to assassinate you and having the entire country want to assassinate you.
There could be some practical difference, because in the latter case, who would be left to guard him?
