Re: Will BB be more succesful?
compared to Musharraf in quelling Swat problem.
In my view yes.
If she gets to become PM, she will have an army chief that will fully focused on fighting in North. She will get more support from international community bcoz she does not represent army which has been accused (wrongly) by some western propagandists to be aiding militancy.
At the end of the day its the army that has to get rid of the swat problem. Does it really matter if BB is the PM or not?
Even if Mush disppears from the scene, you are left with the same army. I know BB doesnt represent army but the "elements" that are accused to supporting militancy will still be there. So your reasoning is faulty that army will function better under her civilian leadership.
Also, as PM she will have to defend the army anyway, cos if she doesnt, you know what COAS Ashfaq Kiani will eventually do ;)
