 New Left Review - Tariq Ali: The Colour Khaki
On 19 September 2001, General Pervaiz Musharraf went on TV to inform the people of Pakistan that their country would be standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States in its bombardment of Afghanistan.
Musharraf’s regime, by contrast, won admiring praise from 1999 onwards for sticking to IMF guidelines ‘despite the hardships imposed on the public by austerity measures’.
Instead, Musharraf’s new status as the trusted ally of the West was used against the PTO, and its non-violent leaders charged under the new ‘anti-terrorist’ legislation—just as the real terrorists, most of whom have, at one time or another, been on the payroll of the military intelligence services, were being released.

 Man in the News: Musharraf Is a Soldier's Soldier, Not a Political General
Musharraf, 58, on the other hand, had been a military officer for 35 years, and he had spent his career as a field officer -- a soldier's soldier -- rather than in the centers of political power.
Musharraf, who was decorated for service in the 1965 war with India, is a graduate of the Pakistani Command and Staff College at Quetta and also studied at military institutions in Britain.
Clearly Musharraf had considerable support if soldiers loyal to him were able to reject Sharif's order of dismissal and move into positions around important government installations in Islamabad before the general had returned to the country from a visit to Sri Lanka.

Many Pakistani politicians believe that President General Pervaiz Musharraf and the army may be on the verge of wrapping up parliament and re-imposing military rule.
In June Musharraf travels to Washington and London and is likely to ask for an endorsement from President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair to curtail Pakistan's return to democracy, in return for arresting some 450 members of Al'Qaeda, agreeing to talks with India on Kashmir, and supporting US-led military action in Iraq.
So far, President Musharraf has been silent." Far from criticizing the MMA or reigning in its militants, the military's intelligence agencies have worked overtime to pave the way for their forceful entry into the corridors of power,'' said an editorial in Pakistan's Friday Times, a leading liberal political weekly.

New Delhi was loathe to permit the Pakistan army to manipulate the risk of nuclear escalation to alter the territorial or political status quo in Kashmir, and thus reacted with unprecedented determination to oust the intruders from the Kargil heights.
Musharraf’s strategic nightmare scenario is for the United States to support India and Afghanistan in their political hostility and territorial ambitions against Pakistan.
President Musharraf seems to be genuine in his desire to permanently settle the Kashmir dispute, but he also now has mounting reservations about India’s sincerity and commitment to the peace process.
