Re: Future of Musharraf
The way he tackled NS, his future seemed to be very bright. If BB came through back door under any kind of agreement with Mush, the political career of BB would also be doomed.
I agree with you. His political strategy was to divide opposition, and he has done that masterfully. By offering goodies to BB he broke up the ARD, and prevented APDM from becoming any serious problem, and with NS and BB taking pot-shots at each other...they wont unite to create problems for general anytime in the near future.
Also, MMA is already divided with Fazlu more than willing to play ball with regime. So that lives out PMLN, PTI and JI which is not going to be much problem for the government to deal with. As for the SC, since CJ isn't on the bench hearing the case, the SC court will most likely rule in govt's favor, perhaps using old infamous doctrine of necessity. So, game is over and Mushrraf will be around for at least 5 more years unless al-queda or army itself takes him out.
