I don’t think there is talk of making Musharraf “Field Marshal” like Ayub Khan, but actually bolstering the powers of the position of Commander-in-Chief, which the President of Pakistan is also constitutionally. There will be a transfer of miilitary command (especially on key corps like Pindi and Karachi) from the COAS to the Commander-in-Chief, which is what BB is hinting at i.e. "American’s and Army support Musharraf ". Also American think tanks diplomats have been suggesting the same for quite a while now.

In the original 1973 constitution, wasn’t the President very “tooth- less” with the PM having all the powers [like appointing the forces chief, which incidently were supposed to fall under the assistan defence secretary? ]. Wouldn’t that make the PM the commander-in-chief?
