Political pundits are giving importance to Negroponte’s meeting with Vice Chief of the Pakistan Army. They are of the opinion that the US is trying to reach pro-western army officers to oust Musharraf.

They think that there is unrest in the Pakistan Army about the way Musharraf is handling the affairs of the country. They think that the threat of suspension of military aid will compel them to go against Musharraf.

They are sadly mistaken if they think that Pakistan army elite will go against him. He is paying them handsomely so they will not go against him. Look at the organization like NADRA and see the posts given to retired army officials. They know if civilian government of Ms. Bhutto or Nawaz come to power that will have to abandon these perks. They will do everything to bring PML-Q into power so they can enjoy their perks.
