With the entire world realising that the Taliban is holed up in Pakistan,the United States is growing frustrated with Pakistan and Musharaff's inability to deal with the insurgents of the Taliban and Alqueda.as it is things within the ruling establisment of Pakistan is not exactly hunky dory.it seems that matters are slowly but surely getting out of hand in Pakistan as more and more bomb attacks are aimed at army and police barracks.of late the frequency of attacks against civilians in Afghanistan has increased five fold.all of these attacks have been committed by the Taliban forces who are holed up in the North west frontier provinces of Pakistan.
With Pakistan becoming more focused in its internal affairs,the United States has sent out a veiled threat to Musharaff,either clean up the mess yourself or we will do it and we will do it in style.so the question is with the current radical forces lined up against Musharaff,will Musharaff grant the United States permission to combat militants within the sovereign territory of Pakistan?if he does that,it may well be the final straw that will break the current Pakistani government's back!
