1.West does not trust Musharaf on war on terror
but have no other alternative.
2.Most of Pakistan and Pakistani leadership has
consences once it comes to, afghan occupation, Nuclear programme,AQ khan etc so the best course of action for west is probabaly create more anarchy to pressurize Pakistani establishment and hope for some ”dark horse ”
take over.
3.This dark horse option might not work and even if it works most probabaly the ultimate solution to the situation is like old Geneva accord,an understanding between taliban and Karzai but the anouncement of NATO with drawl is the only way to bring these waring forces to negociation.
4.The option for Pakistan is to support political solution to the problem instead of undesired use of force.The problem lies In Afghanistan and not Pakistan.

1.Draining out the resources of Ahmmad shah mehsood is a good Idea.Kiyyani has made an intelligent move and Mehsood and his Talibans are feeling political isolation already however the conflict resolution is more important than conflict management.The conflict will be resolved only if we base our political stance regarding Afghan occupation on principals.
2.It is required not to take the military action against Mehsood to last limits it might compromise the cease fire of North wazeeristan.
3.Keep the pressure on but we need to let the taliban make mistakes against local population and army will capitalize on it.
4.About Musharaf it is just one problem kiyyani
does not want to be seen as un curteous subordinate but want to dine him out but it seems Musharaf is not going to give him this chance
