Re: US govt expects Musharraf to quit army post
its in line with what I posted in another thread.
US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher is in Pakistan for talks ahead of elections due later this year.
As well as offering his thoughts on the possible timing of a presidential election, Mr McCormack said the US hoped that **if Gen Musharraf continues in political life, “he will put aside the uniform”. **
US does not ‘hope’ for things it needs/wants. 
Uncle Sam wanted this puppet to fall in line, did nt happen
So Uncle Sam wants a better puppet- and there are more than a few choices there.
