Musharraf's proclamation of "emergency" rule indicates that he feels he has no real need to worry about U.S. posturing about "freedom and democracy" in the region. He knows Bush needs him and he intends to take full advantage.

                              Musharraf from going ahead with his plan, but had 
                              to ultimately give in. Fallon apparently warned 
                              Musharraf that future American aid for his 
                              beleaguered regime might be in jeopardy if the US 
                              Congress took a negative view of the rollback of 
                              civil liberties in Pakistan. If so, it is obvious 
                              that Fallon failed to impress the tough Pakistani 
                              top brass. Equally, Musharraf estimated Washington 
                              has no choice but to support his regime for the 
                              foreseeable future</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EFEDC663-D441-422E-A9E3-9A6D00434F4F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
