Yes, all titles. :-)
Musharraf is in it up to his eyeballs right now. We have long talked here at FR about the so-called “tribal areas” in between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and how it was basically no-man’s land. The area is being referred to as “Wahiristan” by some in the media, which only adds to the confusion IMO.
The point is that these terror attacks are coming from that area, probably involve Foreign Jihadists, the fans of Musharraf in Pakistan are getting fewer by the day, and as Fred Barnes said on Special Report yesterday “Giving him the Bhutto, for Benazir’s sake...” is no improvement.
This is going to get worse, a lot worse, before it gets better. If Musharraf decides to really strike out agaisnt these extremeists, it could very well result in near genocide in Wahiristan. Some of the same extremeists who martyred themselves in the red Mosque would be ecstatic at the prospect of a major assault from Pakistani Forces in that area, and a free ticket to their 72 virgins.
Stand by...
What scares the hell out of me is who gets their hands on the nukes once he is gone or taken out.

Re: At least 12 people have been killed in a suicide bombing at a lawyers rally in Islamabad, Pakistani police say.
Perhaps the islamists are now reading Shapespeare?
Imagine the fireworks if GW gets to announce that we have Bin Laden. Half The 'rats in congress would fall over with heart attacks. Lovely...
“What scares the hell out of me is who gets their hands on the nukes once he is gone or taken out.”
Me too. Depending on who gets the keys, it’s a tossup whether they nuke the Hindus before the Jews, or do them both after they fry all of the Christians...
