How long had Musharraf been in power in Pakistan when 9/11 happened?

[kentuck]

Seems that I recall it was only a few months? Does anyone recall? The White House say that he is our ally in the war on terror. I would not be surprised if he were connected to the 9/11 hijackers? I think he may have came to power because the lady that was the Prime Minister was too friendly to the US? If we really wanted to find Osama, I think we would look in Pakistan. However, unlike Iraq and Iran, they have a "real" nuclear weapon, and as Dubya said, they are a "sovereign" nation. Personally, I think they are the primary source of terrorism in the world.

4. June 20th, 2001?

That's less than 3 months before 9/11??

8. I also noticed after he became

a chucklenut's buddy, he stopped wearing his military outfit. He only appears in western suits now for his photo ops. Guess the neo-cons wanted to tamp down that military coup thing and pretend he was democratically elected.

15. So this motherfucker overthrow the elected President in....

1999 and he's called PRESIDENT!! he's a fucking dictator just like Saddam the only reason he's survived is because of this country wanting him in power. it just proves how hypocritical this Administration is when it comes to democracy

3. You are on to something there I believe...

that there is something fishy going on between the U.S. and Pakistan, they hold the key to all of this. Then now this week I read where some Pakistani intelligence agent is claiming that AQ has smuggled nukes into the U.S. through Mexico....the saga continues.

5. Pakistan Harbors Bin Laden & Bush Regards Them as Their Ally?! WTF?!

I challenge just ONE neo-con or Bush supporter to explain this one away.

11. Hear Hear!!!

6. I don't have a link anymore, but when doing

research on him, I came across the fact that he was trained by the CIA here in the United States when he was younger. It's probably in a biography about him. I found it on the net.

VERY INTERESTING READ

<snip>
Introduction
The media material on General Pervez Musharraf presents extremely conflicting and contradictory pictures. Reporting from various sources with carefully inserted biases leads to utter confusion. This article borrows its title from a phrase used by Brig. (r) S. N. Sachadeva in his op-ed for the Daily Excelsior and by Arvind Lavakare in his article for Rediff News Service. It adequately sums up the difficulty in assessing General Musharraf .
This article attempts to collate information that has emerged from various sources about the General and puts together a `composite'. This technique is routinely used in police work to convert a description of a suspect from many witnesses into a photograph. In the process of doing this it has also become possible to address some specific patterns in the coverage of General Musharraf so wherever possible a `composite' has been built up on these topics.

We begin the article by discussing General Musharraf's childhood and possible influences therein. In the next section we examine the information available about General Musharraf's military and political career. In the section after that we briefly cover the views held by various commentators on General Musharraf . Then we look carefully at `composites' on the following commonly seen motifs in writings about General Musharraf ; `Musharraf : AtaPak v/s AtaTurk', `Musharraf and the West', and `Musharraf and the Pan-Islamist Clique'. Lastly we present our concluding remarks.

In our approach we are faced with severe limitations on the amount of information available about contacts between General Musharraf and the Chinese Government and the North Korean Government. Thus it is difficult to establish the exact nature of his impact on ties with these two nations. These are of importance as these nations have contributed heavily to making Pakistan's nuclear weapons and delivery systems.<snip>

9. Yes

it's strange isn't it that the operatives, plannning and financing for 9/11 came from three countries which are close allies of Bushco - Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and UAE.

Then Bushco blame Iraq for 9/11.

That's not a classic "false flag" attack but the fact that it was carried out by one group and blamed on a completely different country is as close to one as makes no real difference.

10. Long enough for Georgie to be his idiot self and not know who

Pakistan's leader was when questioned by a reporter.

[mmonk]

12. I believe his head of Pakistan's ISI

sent money to Atta. He was also meeting with our government's officials here the morning of 9/11.

[kentuck]

13. I think you are right?

Strange

[newspeak]

14. yes, I've been going "hmmmm" over Pakistan for awhile

the general who wired Atta money, I believe was in Washington on 9/11. US government forgives Pakistan debt. I believe it was the ISI that found the body of the WSJ journalist (Walsh?). BCCI is Pakistani created and may have ties to money laundering, drugs and terrorism. BCCI was part of the Iran-Contra probe.

[windbreeze]

17. Isn't BCCI also laid at

Neal Bush's door???.....amazing the tangled webs...

[newspeak]

18. ah, the journalist was Pearl

apparently the ISI found his body. Journalists Danny Casolero and Ng both were investigating the BCCI connection with Iran-Contra--both died. Bhutto was before Mushareff's military coup, and I remember her interview where she stated that the US support of Al Quaeda would wind up biting us back.
