Is the US Preparing to Attack Pakistan?

Is the US Preparing To Attack Pakistan?

By Eric Margolis

The Bush Administration may be preparing to lash out at old ally Pakistan, which Washington now blames for its humiliating failures to crush al-Qaida, capture its elusive leaders, or defeat Taliban resistance forces in Afghanistan. One is immediately reminded of the Vietnam War when the Pentagon, unable to defeat North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces, urged invasion of Cambodia.

Al-Qaeda's Pakistan "bases" leave U.S. a dilemm:

To bomb or not to bomb al-Qaeda's new bases in Pakistan? That, increasingly, seems to be the question the administration is contemplating.

"Busharraf":

From the U.S. perspective, Gen. Musharraf's continued rule is much preferable to the alternatives: a radical Islamist state or one governed by weak pro-democracy forces that can't count on the support of Pakistan's army.
