Is It PPP & CIA Vs. The Army In Pakistan?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—The government’s feeling of helplessness on American strikes (courtesy Husain Haqqani), a botched coup against the ISI, a systematic economic meltdown and secret understandings with the IMF are issues Mr. Zardari and his select group of cronies are responsible for.  If this isn’t enough to prove the sinister agenda of this government I wonder what will. The military on the other hand seems reluctant to act overtly against the government but it is clear that General Kayani is now at complete odds with it. The army doesn’t necessarily have to take over the country; it would rather wait for some time to see how the current political quagmire unravels.
