>>Musharrif still has a lot of support.<<
I don’t think his supporters are in the majority. Indeed, there is a good reason he has not cleaned up the lawless parts of Pakistan: he does not want his control to get any shakier than it is, by pissing off tribal leaders.
I hope he holds on. I don’t want Pakistan to follow in the path of Iran after Carter got rid of the Shah.
Musharraf knows exactly how to walk the fine line and ultimately give us the room we need to carry out the WOT , if we are truly serious about it.
We need Musharraf and Thompson is one of the few who recognize that . Just one more reason in the long list as to why he should be President .
