Another intellectually dishonest article riddled with
gossip and conjecture. Don't Pakistani writers and
journalist follow the rigors of impartial analysis and
investigation that are considered standard practice for
journalist all over.

Here is the situation is Pakistan:

- Commodities are very expensive due to rising prices ALL
OVER the world.

- Democratically elected thieves and crooks of Pakistan
are busy begging World Bank & foreign govts. to stuff their
bank accounts as they missed out on the dole for last
6 years. Musharraf is standing in their way. Pakistanis
have forgotten the corruption of Nawaz and BB/Zardari days.
Sad.

- Foreign govts. know full well that Musharraf and his team
have done a great job for past 6 years managing Pakistan.
They know the mess Nawaz and BB/Zardari created. They
continue to support Musharraf.

How pathetic that people still keep saying that Zardari said this and Nawaz Sharif said that! It merely shows the complete moral and intellectual bankruptcy of anyone who flaunts these two crooks as some sort of magnificent people's leaders. As if these two have in their past four misrules between the two of them done so much for democracy and the people, and have never indulged in thuggery, loot and plunder. Those of us who know, know that at least these two are not the great saviours everyone is trying to make them into, neither are their parties any better than them.

What benefit PPP will get by deposing Musharaff? Musharaff brought NRO which enable them to return to power. What did Nawaz Shariff do for PPP? He brought those very criminal charges against PPP due to which they had to leave the country and due to which they had to beg for NRO. Do you think PPP will bring Nawaz Shariff's supported Judges so that they can kick Musharaff out on constituitional grouds and make PPP leave the country on same criminal charges account? This whole Judicial drama is based on the fact that Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was Nawaz Shariff's hit man. He is the same peroson who in late Nineties issued stay orders against Cheif Justice Sajjad Ali Shah while this guy was a Judge in Balochistan. Nawaz Shariff has got only 20% votes. What right he has to say that he represent the will of majority of Pakistani Nation.

Qureshi sahib,

Mian Mushy may be a "dog" but he is OUR dog!

Abhi na jaao, chhoaD kar
Ki dil abhie - bharaa nahiN!

So, stop dogging him!

Musheraff will go only when the yanks say so.

The gillani and the pak govt, begging teh US for 500 million and half a million tons of wheat to feed the jihadis cannot decide anything in pakistan.

Definitely, teh US has the right to bomb any pakistani, without their help the pakistani will be dead any how due to starvation.

I don’t see any sinister signs for Musharraf in the real sense. He is definitely looking stronger and more confident than what he appeared on Feb 18th. PPP is yet to come out openly against him which doesn’t seem much of a probability in light of the condractictory statements of the party leadership finding headlines every now and then.He has challanged the parliament to show him the exit if at all a two third vote can be mustered up against him. There seems to be no real threat coming from the army and the lawyer’s movement only creates a momentary stir. He is least bothered about the huge public opinion building up against him.So why should Musharraf worry at all ?
