hamidm #49 I tell you to try and see the forest, and you come back and ask me to foretell the future career of a particular tree (the cj in this case). Unlike you (with your past predictions for the "rising sun") and bulleye (with his constant predictions), I am not in the business of predicting which stock will rise or all, which horse will win or lose a particular race.

Today is a great day for Pakistan - not because 10% was elected president, but because we have a president who has been elected per the rules (rather than thru a mockery of the rules, which is what your former hero did past 8 years).

hamıd mian; '... okay, name one ...... '

hmm....ı thınk aıtezaz would be a good choıce....raza rabbanı would be ok.....javed hashmı would be ok...akhter mengal from baluchıstan....sheıkh rashıd would be ok, had he not become a lota...he ıs about as self made as they come in pakıstani polıtıcs....

there are many more.....zardarı ıs at the bottom of the lıst...had benazır mentıoned your name ın her wıll, you would be the presıdent today.....

thıs govt. ısn't goıng to last more than three years....dıd you see gılanı's performance ın the usa...he ıs consıdered the bıll clınton of ppp, ın terms of personalıty, knowledge etc...

thıs govt cannot run a dıstrıct much less a country....many of them wouldn't know whether canada ıs north of usa or south....how ın the world are they goıng to fıgure out where pakıstan should fıt ınto the world's current sıtuatıon....

ın any case they are brıghter than sarah palın...and not nearly as fundamentalıst....so maybe there ıs stıll hope....

#47 hamidm: sigh..re-read #27. to repeat - the judges have shot their arrow, fired their bullet, done their job, by saving Pakistan from a rogue general.

tahmed,

.... are these judges being reinstated or reappointed ???? ......... be careful, there is a big difference that might not be apparent to a senior citizen like you .......

..... i just heard the new law minister asking your droopy-eyed judge to take an bait (oath) on zardari's hand and join the judiciary before he can be 'considered' for appointment as the cj ......... snicker! snicker!

re: hamdim2 #44
There you go again looking for a messiah.

There is a lot of power in ordinary people doing small things.

Faruk

Re: # 42

faruk mian,

"If and there is a big if, Pakistan gets an independent or quasi independent judiciary as a result of all these machinations it's worth it. "

...... it is a biiiiiig if .......i am all for an independent judiciary but i don't think it is going to happen ..... just look at all these 'independent' judges lining up to take oath even when they know that the droopy-eyed one will be left hanging in the wind .........you forget that we are pakis

Why is that so hard for you to understand?

There is a heavy responsibility on Zardari's shoulder. At least give the devil his due!

hamidm: i guess you really are one of God's Special Children, and cant see the forest (system) because of the trees (personalities).

Never fear - I wont give up on you. Write this 100 times

It's the system, stupid!!

Then re-read my post #27, keeping this above line in mind as you re-read it.

victory for tahmed

ISLAMABAD: The summary of fresh appointment of four deposed judges of the Supreme Court has been sent to the President House according to the Ministry for Law.

The ministry sources told Abdul Qayyum Siddiqui of Geo News that three to four names of the deposed judges of the Supreme Court are included in the summary and in this regard, a notification is likely to be released by this evening. These judges are also expected to take oath today.

Re: # 35

tahmed,

.... you consider replacing musharraf with zardari a victory for the unwashed masses ? ...... haven't you seen them on tv raiding atta mills, pulling their hair and screaming obscenities at zardari and his mother ..... some victory! ..... and did you see aitizaz's rally yesterday - there were barely a hundred unemployable lawyers - like you, he is in denial and tried to cover up his failure by saying that everything slows down in ramzan ...... what a pile of horse doo !

king zardari zindabad !
