U.S./ Pakistani Relations

How much sway does the Bush Administration have over General-President Musharraf? (AP, "Bush urges Musharraf to hold elections")

Hold onto your hats, kids, we're about to find out.

Now I won't claim to be an expert on Pakistani politics, but Musharraf has never seemed to me as one who likes to give up any sort of power. If he is to resign as commander of the military, it will only be when his ascension as President is ensured; requiring a deal between him and Bhutto.
