Al-Qaeda's Progression On Pakistan's Demise -- ThreatswatchSchizophrenic Pakistan And The Coming Vacuum That Invites al-Qaeda
The slow-motion insurgency in Pakistan is picking up pace in short order, and the elected Pakistani government shows no signs of stopping its rapid descent into disorder, fracture and weakness. What was once the Pakistani tinderbox has become a blaze, and Al-Qaeda is feeding the flames.

Nawaz Sharif: Bought & Paid For By Al-Qaeda
Equally clear and critically important is that Nawaz Sharif is, as he has ever been, safe from the long knives of al-Qaeda. And al-Qaeda is executing a longer, drawn out ‘Night of the Long Knives,’ eliminating its foes inside Pakistan, sewing strife and chaos - the conditions under which it thrives, especially in under-developed (but not undeveloped) nations.
Nawaz Sharif, under current law, cannot be elected to office. Yet he craves the presidency for all the power and control it holds. And if al-Qaeda can create a large enough vacuum through political eliminations, key military assassinations and general accompanying chaos through a wave of terror, the law will not matter and Nawaz Sharif can rise to power as the only remaining national political figure of significance in Pakistan.
Understand that Nawaz Sharif, as reported in the Pakistani press and noted by Michael Scheuer in his first book, received approximately ten billion rupees in “campaign donations” from Usama bin Laden in his first failed run for Prime Minister in the 1980’s. This sum is incredibly significant. He was largely bankrolled by bin Laden. A better way to term it is ‘payroll,’ especially in that part of the world.
The paying and buying off of politicians. Al Qaeda is positioning themselves for the long term .... access to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
