Does any thinking person really believe that the President of Pakistan 
is able to make ANY political or military decision without the approval, 
if not the actual direction of the US Government?

The answer is so damned obvious as to be childish: NO, HE CANNOT… 
because US dollars protect Pervez Musharraf and keep him in power. The 
700 MILLION dollars in economic and military assistance the US gave to 
Musharraf this year alone are most definitely not an altruistic gift 
that comes without strings. The 800 million dollars scheduled to reach 
the Pakistani government in 2008 will guarantee that Musharraf continues 
to do exactly what the Bush administration wants. It is not an 
exaggeration to suggest that President/General Musharraf would not last 
a day in office without US aid and protection. Not a single day...

...Could the events in Pakistan be a testing ground for what Bushco 
might be planning in the US to avoid the consequences of fair and 
democratic elections here in 2008?
