Musharaf has made such a pigs ear of his personal War on Terror, it makes you wonder if he got his graduate degree in Military Fiascos from Bush U or maybe Cheney Poly or The Rumsfeld Institute or sumpin'.
There are so many key phrases in the article that I urge you, dear reader, to read the whole thing, my personal favorite:
...Musharraf insisted yesterday that the vote would go ahead and dismissed speculation he would declare a state of emergency. He also claimed that al-Qa'ida was on the run.
By their own admission, al qaida controls large swathes of the border states nestled between Pakistan and Afghanistan, they are in an all out fight with a Pakistani Army that actually refuses to go into certain areas for fear of mass slaughter, there have been continual suicide attacks, bombings and assassinations over the past few weeks that have killed up to 241 persons. Seems to me al qaida is making it almost impossible for Musharaf to exert any conventional government pressure on these states and yet we are to believe that al qaida is on the run.
Maybe Musharaf got his HS Diploma from the Lieberman School for The Criminally Imbecilic.
Has to be something like that...
