Musharraf is now left with vastly reduced powers and blames Bush for all the Evils in Porkistan.
For Washington it is now a far more complex Papistan to deal with in its fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Bush's expensive investment in President Pervez Musharraf has yielded little in the way of tangible results for America. Therefore it would be wise for America to abandon Musharraf. This may well weaken the man further, although they have given him a great deal of support -- both financial and political -- over the years. But their expensive investment in him has yielded little in the way of tangible results. America now needs a policy based on what is actually happening along the Afghan frontier, not on wishful thinking that someday Porkistan will become an effective partner in the war against terrorism.
