Pakistan's Musharraf: "West Will Be Brought To Its Knees"

Apparently Pakistan's leader Musharraf is getting mighty tired of having George Bush and the Bushies tell him what to do and when:

Pakistan's president has warned the West would be "brought to its knees" without his country's co-operation in the so-called war on terror.

"If we were not with you, you won't manage anything," said President Pervez Musharraf in a BBC Radio 4 interview.

He said the Taleban, not al-Qaeda, was now the focus of the struggle against militancy in the region.

"The greatest danger today is if the Taleban movement gets converted into a people's movement," he warned.

Earlier this week Tony Blair assured Gen Musharraf a leaked paper condemning Pakistan's intelligence service did not reflect his government's view.

In the leaked report, a naval commander at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) claimed Pakistan's intelligence service, ISI, had indirectly helped the Taleban and al-Qaeda.

In the BBC interview Mr Musharraf rejected these claims and said ISI's support was vital. If we were not with you, you won't manage anything
