#1 About time Washington wakes up to this thug Musharraf. He's been playing both sides since day one. One day he lets his armed forces thump some al-Quedas the next day he's turning his back while his security apparatus is providing support to ole OBL and his cronies. Bet you can find OBL living in some lavish Paki gov't furnished villa in Pakistan. Of course Musharraf, or any other Paki leader that would fully support the U.S. anti-terrorist stance, is high up on the Paki dead pool. But that just goes to show that we can't trust the Pakis. Hell they love old OBL ! Glad Washington is making overtures to New Delhi. After all, India is a Democracy. Isn't that what we support and therefore shouldn't we ally our interests with theirs. I think perhaps the worm is starting to turn. Bout damn time.

I agree. If we should have learned one lesson for our lifetime it is that looking the other way from despots, just because you want something from, them doesn't work and will always bite you hard in the behind before too long.

#3 Oh yeah - let's have 'democratic' elections in Pakistan. Do you really want to see Mullah Omar as the Paki President with Minister of Defence Osama bin Laden running the country?

#4 Do you really want to see Mullah Omar as the Paki President with Minister of Defence Osama bin Laden running the country?

Yup. Then we could do to pakistan what we did to Afghanistan. Or we could let India do it. That might be more fun to watch.

#5 Does this article suggests that the US (CIA) is acting in support of Harbayar Muri in an attempt to taylor a replacement for Musharraf ? Or, at least someone who can get the job done in the trouble spot where Musharraf can't.
