Musharraf warned in an interview published Friday that Pakistan would resist any unilateral military action by the United States against militants sheltering in its lawless, tribal regions close to the Afghan border.Interpretation: After consulting with Washington on the need to present himself as a patriotic Pakistani and to help him gather support in a shaken country, Musharraf was allowed to make this threatening statement.
"I challenge anybody coming into our mountains," he told Singapore's The Straits Times in the interview notable for its unusually strident language. "They would regret that day."

The BV$H gang wants to make damn sure their leading associate Osama Bin Laden is safe and sound. They'd have been long gone if it hadn't been for Binny. Think of the billions he's made for them.
The last thing I read on Bin Laden in Pakistan that I thought had some merit went like this - Pakistan saw what happened when the USSR got out of Afghanistan. The US left Afghanistan high and dry. Pakistan is getting tons of military 'aid' from the US, Pakistan's military doesn't want to go after Bin Laden because then the money stream dries up. I think the whole Bin Laden thing has lots of angles. Bush needs him, Pakistan needs him, the US military Industrial complex needs him. Its messed up.
