Isn’t anyone else as bemused as I am by all the Pakistan expertise flooding the blogosphere? Where did all these Pakistan experts come from?
Yes, well, as bemusing as that may be in the blogosphere, the same dynamic at the State Department is, well, dangerous…
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, John Bolton said:
HH: Is there a danger that Musharraf could become Bush’s Shah or his Diem?
JB: Well, I think that’s entirely possible, and I think part of the reason is the State Department was pushing Benazir Bhutto on him, and I think it was a very foolish strategy, because you can’t say take on some of the democratic opposition and not take on the rest of it. This trying to read internal Pakistani politics is hard for the Pakistanis, let alone for people at the State Department.
