BREAKING NEWS: OSAMA

[mburbank]

I think Mushariff has no idea who he's in control of and who he is not. It's possible that he's actually driving this and has enough forces loyal to him to pull it off.

It's equally possible that this is a dog and pony show that's supposed to some degree pay off the US for not freaking out that Pakistan was basically the third worlds nuclear walmart.

Concidering how deeply tied together Al Quaeda and Pakistan's intelligence service have always been, I think if Mushariff were actually about to do anything significant he'd be dead by now.

I think the previous assasination attempts weren't failures. I think they were statements. I think they were a message saying "We can kill you any time we want."
