Those who think Musharraf isn’t a traitor! Think Again!

Unofficial resources discovered that it was Musharraf who tried to sell the country back in July 2008 in the form of an agreement with President Bush. Musharraf allowed America to carry out the assaults inside Pakistan’s boundaries anytime, and even without prior permission of Pakistan.

Chief of Army Staff denied any such agreement. New York Times reported that Bush had already approved the order to carry out assaults inside Pakistan. Officials say they will notify Pakistan about the major attacks. According to New York Times, Pakistani government allowed to carry out limited ground assaults. Here is some pars of The New York Times story:

President Bush secretly approved orders in July that for the first time allow American Special Operations forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government, according to senior American officials.

The classified orders signal a watershed for the Bush administration after nearly seven years of trying to work with Pakistan to combat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and after months of high-level stalemate about how to challenge the militants’ increasingly secure base in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

American officials say that they will notify Pakistan when they conduct limited ground attacks like the Special Operations raid last Wednesday in a Pakistani village near the Afghanistan border, but that they will not ask for its permission.

Pakistan’s top army officer said Wednesday that his forces would not tolerate American incursions like the one that took place last week and that the army would defend the country’s sovereignty “at all costs.”

It is unclear precisely what legal authorities the United States has invoked to conduct even limited ground raids in a friendly country. A second senior American official said that the Pakistani government had privately assented to the general concept of limited ground assaults by Special Operations forces against significant militant targets, but that it did not approve each mission.

The official did not say which members of the government gave their approval.

Now who do you believe was it? Who gave the approval? Think once again.
