"The main center of global terrorism is in Pakistan." "...US, North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Afghan officials had already concluded that the Pakistani intelligence service had continued to collaborate with the Taliban and al-Qaeda operating from bases in North and South Waziristan." "The Bush administration knows that Musharraf has been playing a double game over al-Qaeda and Taliban networks." "...When New York Times correspondent Carlotta Gall visited border towns without permission in January, she reported finding "signs that Pakistani authorities are encouraging the insurgents, if not sponsoring them". "The result of the policy of appeasement of the Taliban is that Pakistan has madrassas in the border provinces that churn out committed jihadis by the tens of thousands every year, and the number of active supporters of Islamic terrorism in Pakistan appears to be in the hundreds of thousands...." "In testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that put the Bush administration's portrayal of al-Qaeda in Iraq as the main foreign terrorist threat in perspective, New York University's Rubin declared, "The main center of global terrorism is in Pakistan." "Al-Qaeda forces in Iraq, which Bush has highlighted in recent speeches as the central front in his administration's "war against terrorism", have never been estimated at more than a few thousand." "Musharraf's failure to act against religious extremists and their madrassas is widely understood to be part of a fundamental strategy by the military regime of using political parties that embrace extreme Islamic ideology as a political base of support for the military dictatorship to ensure against the return of democratic forces seeking to reverse Musharraf's 1999 coup." Asia Times Online "It could be curtains for the Busharraf show" By Gareth Porter atimes.com
