This is an excerpt from a large article about China taking advantage of the US geopolitical situation
A defector from Musharraf's camp has informed U.S. authorities the Pakistani leader's "agonizing reappraisal" about the future of Afghanistan stems from his perception the United States cannot pull a victory rabbit out of the Iraqi hat. Hence, his perception neither the United States nor NATO can muster what it takes to complete their mission in Afghanistan. Hence, in turn, Musharraf's decision to authorize his all-powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency to assist Taliban "moderates" in their bid to reconquer power in Kabul. ISI greatly assisted the original victory of Taliban in 1996.
