Living on Borrowed Time

In reaction to the murder of Benazir Bhutto there was this exchange on alternatehistory.com.

Musharraf is basically living on borrowed time.

Well--okay--he was already living on borrowed time but everyone's going to blame him for this now.

Damn--how likely will this tear the country apart?

Doctor what

Everyone to rule Pakistan since 1947 has been living on borrowed time, Doc...

Thande

But now there's nobody to lend the borrowed time.... Things are going to go south pretty soon.
