Adm. William Fallon, the head of the U.S. Central Command warned Musharraf (before he declared martial law) that doing so would strain relations with the U.S:
Adm. William Fallon, the head of the U.S. Central Command, met with President Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan a day before Musharraf's emergency declaration and told him that the United States did not support such an action, Fallon said.
"These actions put our relationship at risk," Fallon said.
He noted that the American military relationship with Pakistan is under review because U.S. legislative requirements could "come into play," potentially requiring cutoffs in aid.

Mushy and Bushy are brothers. Mushy is talking Bushy.
It is down-right laughable to suggest the US warned Pakistan not to declare Marshall Law. Pakistan does nothing without US approval. Mr. Bush, the world is not sleeping. The world knows the truth. So, stop lying.

Musharraf theorectically controls WMD, a nuclear bomb. The Bush administration doesn't want radical islamists in positions to obtain WMD's, so Musharraf does as he pleases.
