| The Plan To Topple Pakistan's Military |
| 2007-12-04 |
| By Ahmed Quraishi This is not about Musharraf anymore. This is about clipping the wings of a strong Pakistani military, denying space for China in Pakistan, squashing the ISI, stirring ethnic unrest, and neutralizing Pakistan’s nuclear program. The first shot in this plan was fired in Pakistan’s Balochistan province in 2004. The last bullet will be toppling Musharraf, sidelining the military and installing a pliant government in Islamabad. Musharraf shares the blame for letting things come this far. But he is also punching holes in Washington’s game plan. He needs to be supported. On the evening of Tuesday, 26 September, 2006, Pakistani strongman Pervez Musharraf walked into the studio of Comedy Central’s ‘Daily Show’ with Jon Stewart, the first sitting president anywhere to dare do this political satire show. |

| #6 Currently, students are being recruited and organized into a street movement. The work is ongoing and urban Pakistani students are being cultivated, especially using popular Internet Web sites and ‘online hangouts’. Yes, I hear they smoke reefer there. |

| #4 Riiight. The US wants to sow "unrest" in Pakiwakiland. Like they need help in that department. Maybe we could throw in some sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads... |

| #3 Grand conspiracy theory sh$t. Mind you. I'd rate the probability of an Indian 'liberated Baluchistan' fairly high in the not too distant future. |

| #2 Ahmed Quraishi - what sort of LSD is he on? 400 mics of 25 with some 49 thrown in for the fantasy colors? Sort of a Paki-Haze? |

| #1 If they forget, Islamabad can always remind them by giving them the same treatment that Uzbekistan did last year. I think this guy is forgetting that unlike Pakistan, Uzbekistan did not sponsor the Taliban and al Qaeda. |
