Default Pakistan's Musharraf to resign as president

Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf will resign rather than face
impeachment by parliament, the Financial Times said on its Web site,
citing government officials and a member of his circle.



The consequence will be a power struggle between the two "democratic"
blocs, both of which are based on the two principal and antagonistic
feudal land owning clans. The government cannot function. The
country decends into chaos and bankruptcy that no amount of American
aid will be able to reverse. Either the Pakistani Army takes over
again or the Taliban does. With that goes Afghanistan and Indian
stability.

1. Taliban win a fight - and settle scores
When the Pakistani military launched operations against Taliban and
al-Qaeda militants in Bajaur Agency, their opponents were more than
ready, having been briefed by well-placed informants. Under the
unified command of radical leader Baitullah Mehsud, the militants
repulsed the offensive and are already planning retaliatory attacks in
other parts of the country. And on Wednesday, Baitullah settled a
score with one of Islamabad's last remaining "precious assets". - Syed

2. India-Pakistan relations in free fall
The Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir is back on a razor's edge, with
huge Muslim protests and a Hindu backlash stoking violence. Pakistan
has internationalized the issue, just as Delhi works with the United
States to pressure Islamabad over its commitment to the "war on
terror". The peace process between India and Pakistan is on hold, and
given the volatility of the political situation in both countries,
Kashmir will continue to burn. - M K Bhadrakumar (Aug 14, '08)
