US lethal ‘blunder’ threatens to undermine Musharraf

#10  Pakistan has an endless supply of compliant, corrupt, whiskey drinking generals.
If Perv goes, others will fill his place.

No problem...

#9  Perv is the tallest dwarf in the circus

Bwahahahaha! I'll be using that one in the future. Great line.

#7  Perv is a sterling example of what we need to get used to; the least worse choice.

I think that's what we've been doing.

#5  I disagree. There's a strategy here that makes a lot of sense to me. Set up more or less stable governments in Iraq and Afghanistan, with troop presence in both countries. That pressures Iran and Syria. Improve relationships with India, including military ties. THEN if Perv has to go there's a good chance of containing the Islamofascists who are quite likely to replace him.

In other words, do what good military strategists always do: shape the battlefield.

#4  The only US "blunder" is keeping Perv afloat for the lat 5 years.

#3  ...With Musharraf gone and almost certainly replaced by an Islamonut, we could take the gloves off. Western Pakistan would no longer be a sanctuary that takes occasional strikes, it would be a free-fire zone.

#2  With Musharraf gone, would that mean we could attack the regions Al Queda lives in more often? At least we could openley back the Indian's in Kasmir.

I notice cnn [tube], has got their rat tails all over this story this morning. Perfect excuse to conviently line up all usual wipping boys for a sound beating.

'course I could be wrong and cnn and friends might fully develop the story and report on the terrorist madrasas and the nexus between the Pak tribal areas and terrorism. Or maybe even one of their stringers might actually report how many top echelon A-Q types collected their allotment of raisins.

..think?
