He is going to be fired. Here is the reason why.
General Musharaff is the CEO of a commercial enterprise that provides security services across the country. Please note that related businesses are also army owned but they are not controlled by general Musharaff directly and therefore are not included in this analysis.
The revenue comes from two sources. The numbers are given for the year 2007 are estimated below.
Revenue from people of Pakistan: US$ 18.6 billion (this includes the entire defense burden). Officially the budget is estimated to be US$ 4.1 billion for the year 2007.
Service revenue from War on Terror: US$ 1.42 billion per year (average for seven years)
The revenue per employee is an estimated US$ 32,000 per year. Please note that the US$ 18 billion is contributed from the 165 million bloody civilians. The average revenue per subscriber is estimated to be US$ 112 per person (remember that the government itself claimed that the average per capita income in estimated to be US$ 900 per year). The US on the other hand makes a single contribution to if US$ 1.42 billion to the business. For this they have gotten an ineffective contractor in the war against terror.
Now the US government want its moneys worth and they have been asking the army to do more. The Bush administration is being pressured by the US tax payer to make stop using their money for the mess that is being created in Pakistan. They might withdraw that money and give it to Afghanistan instead or India. But that is a risk they would probably want to change the CEO. If the Mad kind resists then he would be thrown out. The shareholders would not want to loose revenue.
