Now that it exists, they can certainly use it to force him out. The Taliban, though, by all accounts has become <i>extremely</i> unpopular in Pakistan in the last few months. It wouldn't be politically astute for the military to try to bring in a new soft-on-the-Taliban government.

Using democracy to checkmate Zardari, and maybe force him out of office, because they don't like the aggressive crackdown on the Pakistani Taliban is a brilliant move on their part.
