#1 It can't let go of the US privately for purposes of economic rent and military aid extraction but it can't embrace it publicly
Such clarity is refreshing after wading through the mush served up by the MSM here in the USA.

#2 For me the most interesting revelation is that Musharaf himself ordered the hiding of OBL in Abbotabad.

Possibly the accusation is even true, Frozen Al. Certainly somebody did, but Musharref is conveniently both out of power and outside the country. Pakistanis pride themselves on being even twistier than the Byzantines were reputed to be...and paranoid conspiracy mongers to boot. It is quite possible, I suspect, that a committee of inquiry would conclude that it had been a conspiracy by Mossad and RAW, with any Pakistanis involved being mere innocent dupes.

#4 I can only imagine 30 years from now Pakistan is broken up into smaller states, unless another Superpower pumps in billions to keeping the military afloat again like we did in the 80s and like we did in the WOT. I won't weep.

Who else but the headman could make the decision in face of the awful consequences it may entail. That is if the USA were a real country and not the world's demographic and economic colony.
