Re: June 2007: Will be a decisive month for Pakistan.
People in Isloo are saying that Musharaff may impose full martial law within the next 10-15 days and the Corps Commanders were informed in yesterdays meetings that this action is being contemplated seriously - Musharaff is scared that the Supreme Court will throw the reference out and then he will have to face the Supreme Court regarding the uniform issue....and as such he is making moves to prepare the Commanders for falling into line when he imposed Martial law - however no one knows what the Commanders will do. The Isloo rumor mill is in full swing:)
Re: June 2007: Will be a decisive month for Pakistan.
How can shujat hussain say 'no' to PPP deal [might not happen?] when his political survival is linked to musharraf himself. It might be that musharraf has decided to dump the chaudhries of gujrat after all.

Riggghhttt. Thats exactly the sort of thinking that won us our freedom from British. I see where u r going with this. If development is what u r concerned with, then I am constrained to point out that we had more development under British than we did under our local rulers..Mughals. In fact our railway network decreased in length after partition. Most state institutions collapsed and a highly professional Army developed by the *goras *took a leaf out of James Smith’s book and went commercial.
Jinnah would be so proud of you.

There will be no martial law. The dictator just wants to frighten the judges in order to get a favourable outcome. If a martial law is imposed it will have serious implications for the economic well being of the country. The public this time around is also not going to be too pleased about having a martial law imposed. Martial law will be an indication of failure of Mushy.
Mushy is not too bad...and will at least be better than BB and NS, he should be allowed to stay for another 5 years but he needs to let go of the COAS role. He needs to make concessions now otherwise it will be too little too late and he will be end up with nothing.

I think he has burned that bridge himself. Before March 9th and May 12th, you could say that however bad Musharaff was, he still had a good chance to stay on for another 5 years, albeit with different coalition partners, such as PPP forming a fresh government after general elections.
However, these two major events, plus whatever is going on around them, such as media restrictions, bans on unfavourable coverage, not allowing anti-musharaff people to have the same freedoms that pro-musharaff people do, etc - have all made people not only in Pakistan but abroad as well - look at Musharaff in a more negative light.
Even his 'brother from a different mother' George.W. isent as public with his support as he was before. I dont see anyway Musharaff can survive for another 5 years, the question really is will he leave willingly or will it be shameful exit like Ayub Khan's or a violent one like Zia Ul Haq..?

That's because Mughals were moderately enlightened, made in the same mold that has afflicted us through their degenerate secular decendants...On the other hand somebody like Sher Shah Suri, who built the GT road and had employed postal service on the back of fast thorough breds, the fastest till modern times, could give any colonists a run for their money in administration and development...plus he was a pathan, hence an inherent fundamentalist, radical, fanatic, and extremist...and I admire him for that...
Getting back to the topic...nothing is going to happen in June...Mush will be in power for sometime...he is an aazab for Pakistani qom and there won't be any relief until the whole makes some profound changes...
