Let me add a bit of crayon colouring then.

One: I claim from personal experience that Pakistan related Wikipedia entries cannot be trusted. At least some of the subjects related to Pakistan are under feudal control by the Wikipaedarchy's Wikipediculous Nobility.

Two: Are you willing to bet the ranch on the veracity of Robert M. Gates? I would strongly advise against such foolishness.

Whatever you do; don't try to connect this dot. It completely disregards recent (1990s) history. Forget that Clinton refused to accept the Musharraf dictatorship. Forget that in 1999, a running for president GW Bush, couldn't even cough-up a decent mis-articulation of Pervez Musharraf. Yes, it's all an Imperialistic American plot. Looney-see
