There is no doubt in my mind that Musharraf has and needs the support of the Muslim hordes.

I was not in the least surprised when he insisted, at the time the Taliban forces were forced to withdraw, that the Northern Alliance forces should not be allowed to enter the cities which the Taliban had abandoned. But Bush allowed the Northern Alliance forces to occupy them anyway. This was the first indication that he knew Musharraf was a two-timing "nogoodnik".

It is not surprising that Bush continues to deal with him because he (Musharraf) has the popular Moslem support (recall the referendum which he won hands down). At present, with the U.S. economy down and being required to help elsewhere in a moment's notice, the U.S. cannot afford to occupy Pakistan. Also, there will be too many costly problems and headaches after the Al Qaeda and Taliban thing is over! The American "tit" will be sucked dry! Surely, the Americans back in the U.S. will not be happy about the U.S' occupation of Pakistan.
