Regarding Bhutto. She is going to screw things up royally by all indications. This is a real bad time for the Pakistan military to even have to consider divided loyalties. She should understand many elements in the Pakistan society are working with the Islamo facists organizations. And the military must take adequate measures not only in physical attacks on the al Qaeda and Taliban cells along the border areas but within the interior of the country that most probably operate almost freely.
To force the military and police to have to deal with a crowd of one million protestors while they should be preparing to go agains the Islamist goons looks akin to some asshole like Harry Reid saying we have to cut off funding of US troops during the surge.
