It is clear that the Pakistani President and Army Chief is increasingly unpopular in Pakistan. But what really happens to all his nukes and missiles?
The opportunities for Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to "pull a political rabbit" out of his hat are shrinking and his options on the developments in his country are not attractive," an American expert on South Asia has said.
The biggest problem is the ISI of Pakistan. ISI has two branches. One covert and the other overt. The overt one is working the Americans to go after Al-Queda and Taliban. The covert one is aiding Al-Queda as well as other Islamic terrorists. Many international think tanks believe that the covert ISI is actually controlled by the Al-Queda.
The biggest concern is the missiles and nukes of Pakistan. If covert ISI and Al-Queda takes over Pakistan the terrorists will get their cream cache of weapons to blwo up the world. Israel, India and Ameirca will be the primary targets.
According to media reports, "Musharraf's opportunities to pull a political rabbit out of his hat are shrinking. A deal with Bhutto's PPP seems less likely than ever and the religious parties are keeping their distance," said Teresita Schaffer, Director of the South Asia Programme at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington based think tank.
"Most of Musharraf's options are not attractive. He can hope that things will calm down, and that the Supreme Court will delay a decision until passions have cooled. He can crack down on political parties and the press. He could, if disorder continues, declare a state of emergency or martial law, options he has publicly rejected in recent days," Schaffer said in her latest analysis of the political developments in Pakistan.
"None of these is a sure bet, and each of these brings its own potential complications, including fresh domestic upheavals and international pressure," Schaffer said.
