["Pakistani troops involved in the hunt for Osama bin Laden have been redeployed to the Indian border. Igniting the Kashmir issue is also likely to boost public support for Muslim fundamentalists, denting General Musharraf’s popularity."]

General Musharraf's may not be able to hold on to his position after all.

["Both Britain and the US recognised it was “imperative” to support the Pakistani Government as they forged an international coalition against al-Qaeda. However, Mr Powell is understood to have expressed forcefully the view that while Islamabad should be allowed “off the hook” for its role in the origins of the Taleban regime, there could be no succour given over terrorist groups operating with Pakistani support or from its territory."]

What will Bush and Powell do to Saudia Arabia for the role the Saudis played in
exporting terrorism? Will they tell the Saudis we don't want your oil? Since Pakistan doesn't have oil or even natural gas reserves, it looks like the country could feel Bush's wrath.
