#1 As president and army chief, Mr. Musharraf worked hand in hand with the United States against terrorism until last November, when he handed the army post to Gen. Ashfaq Parvaz Kayani, who promised to keep the army out of politics.

Sounds like it was all over at this point. But exactly why would Kayani make such a promise? Could it have had something to do with all those billions the US government gives them or was it just the goodness of his heart?

#2 The day Musharrif resigns, Pakistan needs to move from the "ally" column to the "terrorist facilitator" column. If things don't turn around in the FATA, then move pakistan into the "enemy" column, and dispose of it.

#5 I think Mushy has a lot of public support, especially among Punjabis. And they are the only ones who matter.
