You are right. Lal Masjid became a prestige issue for Musharraf after the Islamists from lal masjid took hostage the chinese acupuncturists. After he received a strong rebuke from china he moved in the army to take over the Lal Masjid, otherwise the pakistani military would have hardly moved a finger to crush the Islamists.
The chinese engineers who are working on a dam in PoK are being ferried under the protection of the Cobra helicopters provided by USA for fighting terror, after the local population started attacking the chinese to protest the construction of the dam in an ecologically sensitive region. This is the way American aid to fight terror is used in Pakistan.
