Musharraf, Pakistan Update
Pervez Musharraf Resigns as Pakistan President
Definitely an imperfect ally, but the General was an ally nonetheless. Let’s add things up, then think about the team we have in the White House:
- Pakistan with Nukes, Taliban, and Al-Qaeda and our guy is out
- Iran announces its warplanes can strike Israel (that’s just the bellicose statement of the week)
- Russia is able to attack a democratic neighbor with no repercussions
- Iraq
- Afghanistan
The News:
- Musharraf announces his resignation – New York Times
- What’s next for Pakistan and Musharraf? – CNN
- Pakistan poses US policy headache – BBC
- Pakistan’s president steps down – BBC
- Spies challenge Pakistan government – BBC
This last one is the scary story …
