The BBC did an assessment about as to who are the likely candidates within the military and intelligence services who if they could they would be able get rid (president) General Musharraf - the BBC's analysis concluded that there really was no one.
Despite the second martial law (so called emergency) by this bastard General Musharraf - disturbances in the country and he is completely unable to do anything about them; the local media however shut down does not mean the reports of events are not being reported - the shortest route for the world to know what is happening in Pakistan is through India and everyone then the entire world finds out.
The general has made a mess of practically everything. He does not know what he should do about the myriad problems which exist, because he never really intended to govern the country, he never had an agenda as to how to make things happen. All his time has been spent enjoying himself and granting favours to his cronies. He resorted to criminal neglect of the country. He paid attention to ensure that no one should be able get rid of him at any cost.
Eventually when the pressure grew that he should have an election, he tried his level best to sabotage it, which meant forcing him to get involved in the matters of the state and that is when things started deteriorating rapidly because he never had any desire or even the inclination to actually work. Every decision he made since then in a single year has led to one huge mistake after another. Finally when he realised he could not anything right, he imposed martial law again. Has attempted to destroy the judiciary and the media.
In his speech when he announced martial law, he quoted Abraham Lincoln. He completely forgot that Lincoln was elected to the position of president. The country was fighting a civil war, the disturbances and chaos in Pakistan cannot be compared to that terrible state of affairs. Here the Pakistan military is fighting the people it has sworn to protect. Finally Lincoln was assassinated - does Musharraf want that to happen to him - it most probably is going to be that.
As for General Musharraf's cronies in the military and the intelligence services, may themselves may not do anything - but if the unrest amongst their subordinates spreads they would be forced to something in order maintain discipline and control to whom they give orders to, otherwise everyone General Musharraf depends on for his survival will also be engulfed in a terrible mutiny, the likes Pakistan has never known.
The increasing hatred of the military is a matter tremendous dishonour. On the one had if the military wants to salvage the little bit respect it has, it will have to make its move against General Musharra. On the other, the massive civilian unrest may spawn a whole bunch of suicide bombers ready get rid as many soldiers and along with them General Musharraf too. The most common sentiment is 'kill our soldiers wherever you see them'. When access to General Musharraf becomes impossible the military which is apparently loyal to him will end up hating him because they are becoming the target of civilian wrath.
