President Musharraf is a lucky man. People generally find that their lies are not believed by others. Musharraf is in the fortunate position of not having the truth he spoke being believed. Here is the google cache of his speech to Pakistanis on 19th September 2001. (The original speech no longer exists in the government’s website.) In that he promised them that he would do whatever he could for the Taliban. He also alluded that the compromise with the US was a short term one, and he would stab them in the back once Pakistan’s national goals are achieved. He has kept his word so far.
