From Aljazeera:
The options for U.S. policy in Pakistan after six years of unquestioned support for Musharraf range from "worse to worst".
By Philippe Khan
A bleak National Intelligence Estimate last week said that al-Qaeda has re-energized from its bases in Pakistan and is planning new attacks against the United States, dealing a major blow to the U.S. “war on terror” and leaving the Bush Administration stuck between tough choices on how to deal with President Pervez Musharraf’s government.
According to an article on the Christian Science Monitor, terrorists would get stronger if the U.S. continued its support to the Pakistani government, which, according to the National Intelligence Estimate, has done little in six years to tackle terrorists who have established strong bases along the northern border with Afghanistan.

Interesting comments from readers around the world on this article.
The Pakistan President said the Bush Administration threaten to bomb his country if they didn't join in the illegal invasion of Iraq. Yes Bush gave the Pakistan President millions of dollars and aircraft but the threat was to put him in his place. Now the people see the Pakistan President as weak. Interesting how Bush calls Pakistan a friend yet the athens to bomb their country.
