if that's not all the economic boom is based on, how was the economy pre-9/11 compared to after? the answer is obvious

Perhaps you should look at fact's before you speak.
An interesting report in the respected International Herald Tribune:

Since 9/11, America's cost for Musharraf's cooperation has reached a staggering $27.5 billion. Economic and military aid has totaled $4.5 billion. In addition, the United States is providing $5 billion in credit guarantees for the purchase of 62 nuclear capable F-16 fighter planes and has orchestrated the postponement of debt repayments to aid donor countries totaling another $13.5 bill

Since the economic viability of Pakistan depends on continued aid, a credible threat to cut it off would alarm both the armed forces and sectors of the Pakistani business and political establishment, forcing Musharraf to tack with the wind.
