Zardari has given in to the extremes and reinstated the Supreme court Judge. This is not at all like our SCOTUS, but rather is an additional layer to which and by which sharia can be implemented and regulated in the various provinces of Pakistan.

If so the military must choose, will it back President Zadari or will it back the Taliban. If it backs the president, there can be a slow cooking of the stew they are all in until civil war breaks out. If they support the Taliban, President Zadari is done sooner, and so is Pakistan. Either way we will be at war trying to extract our folks from Afghanistan, the only question is will it be with Pakistan and by treaty possibly China, or will it be with the Taliban and with Zadari’s blessing. If more of the legal beagles can be won over, it will be the latter, but I fear the democratic method Pakistan has chosen will lead to a quick death of this latest civilian administration.

Wow, having pushed for the resignation of Mushariff, having allowed the assassination of Bhutto with no repercussions, the Pakistani’s are reaping the whirlwind. Having supported them the Democrats ought now to reap what they have sown as well. I am not certain if that will be the final result, however.
