Abstract
This research examines the portrayal of Pakistan and its president, General Pervez Musharraf, in American print media (specifically Time magazine) from 2001-2010. Using corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis, the study analyzes 509 articles to reveal how Musharraf's identity was constructed, challenging the simplistic 'friend vs. foe' binary prevalent in post-9/11 discourse. The findings indicate a nuanced representation of Musharraf, fluctuating between ally and dubious partner depending on his alignment with US foreign policy goals.
