If you think things are bad now (and they are), Musharraf falling will demonstrate just how flat-footed we are.
America's readiness is in tatters, courtesy of the occupation of Iraq.

Iraq or no Iraq....we would still be flat footed, and in tatters..
The American mindset is Bureaucratic and straight forward. We can think out of the box, but our bureaucratic structures (hierarchial) don't lend themselves to fighting an amorphic enemy. We need to be able to see and define our enemy, when he acts as a Wisp o Will we have no idea of how to deal with it.
The other larger issue is what we are defending...our government tells us that the Jihadists hate our Freedoms, what they hate is our way of doing business our policies. They hate our corporate culture, which is almost inseperable from or is an offshoot of how we think (Our idea of freedom).
Our method of combating the Jihadist is like a giant swinging at thin air, while the Jihadist is able to dodge and weave. every once in awhile we get lucky and make a hit. If it weren't for Pakistan and its cooperation we in most likehood would allready have been hit numerous times.
Pakistan knows how the Jihadist thinks because they are them.
