Money quote from the article: "The assassination of Pakistan's former prime minister occurred one week before the Iowa caucuses, the first test of the 2008 race for the White House, and provided a reminder of the importance of national security in an era of terrorism."

Musharraf is a fundamentalist muslim. Which is why Pakistan is now terror central. He has done nothing to round up Taliban operating openly in Pakistan. OTOH he has done everything possible to scuttle democracy there. Almost all of the military bigwigs are sympathetic to the islamists. Never forget Taliban was conceived, planned and nurtured by Pakistan.

The ONLY REASON Musharraf agreed to cooperate in the war on terror is because immediately after 911 he was told bluntly you either are with us or you are against us and we will turn your country into a rubble.

Since then he has milked US tax payers for $10 Billion and used that money to build his weapons cache instead of fighting Al Qaeda. He has taken president Bush for a sucker.
