Pakistan's Musharraf to resign as president: report

2 hours, 56 minutes ago

Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf will resign rather than face
impeachment by parliament, the Financial Times said on its Web site,
citing government officials and a member of his circle.




Just yesterday, I believe, I was watching on some news shows interviews with
Pakistanis who say that the hatred that Pakistanis have had against America
is because of the US support of Musharraf who is very unpopular in his own
country.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens next.

This is something the world does not need right now. Musharraf was a bad
guy, but at least a stable bad guy on our side. What next???? Is a very
good question for the region.

Stable!

On our side!

Look, he was a military dictator who sponsors Islamic terror on a huge
scale.

The training camps that are directed against India produced both sets of
London bombers, the gang that went 'bang' and the gang that went 'phut'.

He's one of the bad guys who managed, like a couple of others, to fool the
US into thinking he was on their side.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

"Fool" may be overstating it. The decision may well have been "defining
him as being on our side is better than the opposite, since that would
mean the other guys have nuclear weapons." Of course, that's a bit
nuanced for the US Administration to explain internally, let alone to
the media.
