How Long WIll Pakistan's Civilian Government Claim Control?
Pakistan is slipping away. The Taliban control Swat Valley, and are expanding. The police and military are compromised to the point of being unable to control the extremists or provide security. Less and less of the country is actually under Zardari's authority.

Can he regain what is lost? Can he regain control of the ISI? I think Pakistan is a failed state.

How long can Zardari give the impression that he is the head of the country?

2. Honest answer: As long as the Pakistani military knows its necessary for continued US Aid.

3. Good answer. Does this mean that is the US threatened to
or did take away the aid, that it would all come down like a house of cards?
