Re: DAM*N …Musharraf is winning the case in Supreme court…
Well actually thinking about it, I think that the anti govt folks maybe or should be praying that the Supreme court rules **for **Musharraf being eligible to stand for the Presidency, because all other options would result in him keeping his uniform indefinetly. 
The Supreme Court not only has to rule whether or not Musharraf is eligible to stand for the Presidency, but also crucially whether the present assemblies can carry on and hold the Presidential Election or the next one’s should? If we work on the premise that they completly rule out Musharraf being eligble for standing for the Presidency again, either under these or the next assemblies, then the oppositiion parties are faced with some nightmare scenarios.
**— **If the Supreme Court says the Presidential Election can continue under the present assemblies (without Musharraf as a candidate), then the PML Q alliance has an overwhelming majority to get a Musharraf loyalist elected, who would end up extending his COAS position for more years. So Musharraf loyalist as President, and Musharraf continuing as COAS.
**— **If the Supreme Courts says Presidential election must be held 30 days after general elections (as per constitution) i.e. February or March 2008, then Musharraf continues as President & COAS until then - at least. Who knows what kind politcal dispensation will be in Feb/March next year, but I doubt that the present combined opposition parties (APDM, PPP etc) will be able to agree on a consensus Presidential candidate, and will be too suspcious of each other to come to an agreement. It is most likely that the PML Q, PPP, MQM etc will cobble together a coalition, which under external complusions will extend Musharraf’s COAS tenure, or even pass the necessary constitutional amendments to get him re-elected as President again.
So potentail nightmares either way for the opposition, if the SC votes against Musharraf as President again.
