‘Surge’ Of US Special Forces Expected In Pakistan In Early 2008
Submitted by YOUR NEW REALITY
In the wake of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, a ’surge’ of US Special Forces for Pakistan’s remote tribal lands is unlikely to face heavy opposition from President Musharraf, who will be busy trying to stop his own name, and that of his political party, from being linked with Bhutto’s assassins.
The shock of Bhutto’s death, so close to the January 8 elections which were tipped to see her elected prime minister, is also likely to lessen public opposition to the increase of US troops inside Pakistan.
