Re: after bb: can musharraf be next? and then what?
the more i think about it, the more the operation against bb seems like the one designed against ahmed shah masood. reason: job against masood was very well executed like the one against bb. more importantly, masood was eliminated right before 9/11 so that americans would lose an effective ally in afghanistan. al qaeda had rightly guessed that americans would attack afghanistan after 9/11 and by removing masood, al qaeda removed a leader who could provide an alternative leadership when taliban were targetted by americans.
i believe bb would be the natural choice to lead pak once musharraf goes away from the scene. and among all the pakistani leaders, she certainly would be the toughest on jehadis. by dealing with bb, al qaeda has removed the biggest threat it faced in pak if musharraf was removed.
after bb, al qaeda might target musharraf again. and if al qaeda is successful in removing musharraf, i believe there is no political leader in pak that will have the balls, or the desire, or the ability to deal with jehadis. in my view, if musharraf is eliminated, then kayani should take over, lock the jehadi supporting civilians like lawyers and journalists in jail and go after jehadis with full force without worrying about collateral damage. otherwise, pak goes the way of iraq.
Jehadi supporting lawyers and journalists? what are you even talking about?!?!
Musharaf being taken out means nothing as.. Some other aremy general will take over...
If they are smart, they will reinstate the Supremem court and stop the tyranical policies of Mush, then they can go after the terrorists with the support of everyone behind them.
