The Myth About Musharraf
Musharraf's resignation ends an exquisite relationship between him and the Bush administration. ++ The latter created the myth that Musharraf had "joined the free world in fighting the terrorists" after 9/11. ++ The truth is, Musharraf neither supported the war on terror, nor stopped making deals with the militants. ++ But the Bush administration chose to hide Musharraf's policies in order to avoid a "realistic debate about the options available for US policy." ++ Al-Qaeda would have been much weaker by now had Washington acted differently.
