Why would they want this guy to head Pakistan? He was already Prime Minister twice in the 90s and failed. And his antics in the last year have helped put Pakistan in the position it's in now. (When he was PM in the late 90s he tried to institute, "Sharia Lite.")

Is this guy in any way related to Obama’s college friend and travel companion to Pakistan while still a student?

And what about Obama’s mother's time in Pakistan? Did she have anything to do with this guy, or his political party??

Any investigative reporters out there??

We should never have pressured Musharraf to step down from power. Pakistan is a democracy now but what has this gained us? The democratic government of Pakistan is a weak one and descending into chaos.

That's been my position since Day 1. Musharraf may not have been helping against the Taliban to the fullest, yet he kept everything a little more together then currently, and more importantly, you did not have to worry about the nukes.
