G, I have been thinking that for some time now. With Musharraf out of the way, the US would have little to no help in Pakistan, and we would have to risk an unauthorized incursion to chase AQ into the tribal regions. That would turn many muslims who are on the fence against us, as they see West invading their lands. It basically creates a no-win situation for us, since we show weakness if we don’t go after them, and we create more enemies if we do.
“Watch Musharraf”
Sadly, I agree with both of you. His disappearance would greatly aid AQ.
