Quite amazing to see how clueless Nawaz really was on what Musharraf was cooking up.

They will always need Pak as a base from which to gain entry to the major Muslim speaking world in the Middle East. It was always that way.

I can never understand this administration's blind spot when it comes to Bin Ladenstan - I mean Pakistan. The AQ Khan incident is a case in point. But the biggest thing is that Bin Laden is hiding in that country and Musharrif isn't really trying to find him. A few months ago he admitted that Bin Laden "Was probably hiding in Pakistan" and he might as well added "And if you give me 10 billion, I might be able to find him." You raise an interesting point: how much in control of Pakistan is Musharrif? He was the head of the military (I guess he still is) so wouldn't say much about discipline there if he didn't have complete control over the military. But the ISI is a force on it own. I wish the US would lean of Pakistan to disolve the ISI. Hi Patrix
