Pak-US honeymoon comes to an end.. Unprecedented win by the Mullahs in 10/10 polls may be one contributing factor, but this relation was bound to end sooner or later just as it did in the past. With ISAF already winding up operations in Karachi, American soldiers in Jacobabad are said to be packing up aswell. Musharraf's backing of War-on-terror has backfired in shape of overwhelming fundamentalist support in western provinces and some are already pointing fingers towards the ISI. |

Tough times ahead for Musharraf..
No matter who forms the government in Islamabad in the coming days, be it with or without the MMA, the Mullahs will still hold power in the Northwest Frontier Province making American presence in the province impossible and possibly severe Islamabad's policy on War-on-Terror. Sooner or later, the US soldiers will withdraw completely from Pakistan, followed by US State Department security warnings issued to their citizens in Pakistan, similar to post 9/11 days. Pakistan may soon loose its "Top Spot" among the allies.

.:: VERDICT ::. Musharraf might have thought of the post 9/11 era as his toughest battle, but things are only getting worse for him. With rumours of Bilal Musharraf - his son in the US, looking for a bigger house, some believe he would soon retire, many western diplomats think another military takeover in Islamabad is likely, some even fear a coup against Musharraf by fundamentalist elements in the Army.So will Musharraf be able to survive this time around.. only time could tell. |
