Elections not before February 15

Musharraf has just announced that elections will definitely not be held before February 15th. This announcement must surely be the result of George Bush's personal phone call today. At least it's better than the year's delay we were informed of earlier. My guess is that he will be forced to schedule elections for sometime in late February or perhaps March (a year from the judicial crisis). So I think my prediction earlier this year, that he won't last more than 12 months, will probably come true. Whether he leaves of his own volition, or is forced out through constitutional means, or a counter-coup of sorts, or some violent means, is anyone's guess.
