In recent weeks, we've seen a lot of headlines about what problems Musharif is having at home, and some discussion on TV of what will happen to the Nukes, if Musharif loses power.
These are all important issues, he is our main ally in the region, (whether willingly or not), and we need his help with eliminating the terrorist camps near the Afghani border, But, I just found out yesterday, what terrible things are happening in those tribal areas, formerly known as Warizistan,..but now called Talibanistan, because the Taliban are taking over more villages and turf every day,are so entrenched, that the Paki' army has signed a treaty with them, so they can keep some troops on the border, to placate the Americans.
We can't violate Pakistani soveriegnity by going into that area to root out the terrorist, but can we continue to let Taliban and Al Queda mount attacks on Afghanistan, from a safe haven in the Tribal regions. Check: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1686017-2,00.html

I have been pulling for Musharraf for a long time.
He is truly trapped between a rock and a hard place and no one is cutting him any slack at all.
In most countries including this one the Pres. is also commander in chief of the armed forces yet there is a constant call for Musharraf to step down while his country is under daily attack from Islamofascists.
Sort of a double standard don't ya think?

Obama wants to bomb the place. Now might be a good time.
Aside from that, I get a kick out of watching Paki women having slap fights in the streets for the cameras.
How can you tell who's who? They should get uniforms or something so we can bet.

He is not our ally, he is an oppressive dictator, and every day he stays in power more terrorists are created.
He suppresses his people, maybe that's why our leaders are allied with him.

Should be a concern to all, and then you have those idiots that only have Oil comments, which shows their ignorance on both subjects!

I think India needs to worry about that more. They have no oil so Bush isn't concerned. He only likes oil countries.
