US plays down impact of Musharaff resignation.

Andrew Gray - Reuters reporter

INSTABILITY in Pakistan always has the Pentagon worried about two things above all -- the country's nuclear arsenal and the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban in areas bordering Afghanistan.



But U.S. officials are playing down the impact the resignation of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, long seen as a key U.S. ally, will have on either issue.



As Musharraf's position has weakened in recent months, U.S. officials have strengthened relations with both Pakistan's military leadership, in particular Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, and the government elected earlier this year.



"We enjoy a good ... defense relationship," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman. "We work very closely with the military, particularly along the border region, and we would hope and expect that that would continue."



The U.S. military did not have any immediate concerns about the safety of Pakistan's nuclear weapons as a result of the resignation, a military official said.



The official did not elaborate but analysts said Pakistan's nuclear arsenal was under the firm control of the military and that would not change with Musharraf's departure.

Yes,
we will check one by one every person for the MPA's & MNA's post and i think always we will select the wrong person, we cannot select the elegible persons for the government because in Pakistan the system is of like that in which a devoted and faithfull person cannot reach to the high positions, thats why pakistan is facing great problems.The only way to change the system in pakistan, i think is the REVOLUTION. And i think the only person in pakistan who can brought this change is, 'IMRAN KHAN'...... THE CHAIRMAN of tahreek-e-insaf.............smile

with great regards.
