Re: Live with Talat: Musharraf interview to Aaj TV (merged)
The reason that Musharraf is fighting the way he is because the Pakistani Army is not designed for this kind of warfare. Second, the only way that Musharraf can continue this fight if he gets American support in terms of economic and military aid and he is worried and rightly so that Americans might tire and move on like they have done in the past.
Fighting these kinds of wars require a huge amount of Capital which Pakistan does not have.
ZAB initiated the program but it came to its fruition under Zia. Many countries who were on the way of making nukes stopped such as South Africa, Argentina and Brazil. Initiating the program is not the end game of making nukes.
I don't know what it was, but Clinton was highly critical of Musharraf but Musharraf didn't back down and received Clinton coldly. Which shows Musharraf is not a Bush lackey.
He is doing what is best for Pakistan and which is fighting Islamic Extremism.
