Are these 80,000 Pakistani muslim troops friends of the United States of America? If they were, they would welcome the US ARMY to help them root out the Al Qaede organization within Pakistan.
As has been already been pointed out elsewhere, allowing the US Army is political suicide for President Musharref. And probably literal suicide, too.

Aside from that, to coin a phrase - 'only an idiot starts a war on 2 fronts, and it takes a madman to start a 3rd'. You really think the US Army can take on this extra fight? Please, pass me your rose-tinted spectacles....


I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
