Re: Musharraf says he’ll resign
Poor Musharraf, too late for him to change his tune now.
I agree now he sounds more like a leader of a nation much to the chagrin of lovers of fascism and Pakistan-is-terror-central-and-Bush-is-our-lord crowd here on gupshup and the tiny corrupt yes-men courtiers which have brought this country to its darkest hour in it’s entire history, maligned its name, divided the nation and justified murder.
Musharraf like all other of our ill begotten custodians does not think of himself as a traitor (who does?). In addition to his poor judgments, paper tiger disposition I think he can also blame his courtiers who espoused fascism, playing the labeling game, dividing the nation and making Pakistan a proxy to an immoral war and surrendering Pakistan’s many moral high grounds which the nation had held for a very long time.
In the end he’ll be despised as the worst dictator in Pakistan and his almost 9 year charade of a rule Pakistan’s darkest hours. I feel sorry for him, but have no sympathy for his courtiers.
Please depart now Musharraf, leave us be, and perhaps you might only be villified to a softer extent. May God have mercy on you.

SINGAPORE, Jan 11 (Reuters) President Musharraf said any unilateral action by U.S.-led coalition forces against militants in Pakistan will be regarded as an invasion, Singapore’s The Straits Times reported Friday. He said Islamabad will resist any entry by coalition forces in the tribal areas to hunt down militants, regarding that as a breach of Pakistan’s sovereignty. “I challenge anybody coming into our mountains. They would regret the day,” he told the newspaper in an interview conducted in Rawalpindi. Musharraf also said he would resign if a government that emerged from elections, now scheduled for next month, sought his impeachment. He criticised Hillary Clinton’s proposal to deploy a U.S., and possibly a British, team to safeguard Pakistan’s nuclear assets. Her statement, Musharraf said, was an “intrusion into our privacy, into our sensitivity … She doesn’t seem to understand how well-guarded these assets are.” “If impeachment were their intention and they don’t want to go along in a harmonious manner, I would like to quit the scene,” Musharraf said when asked what would happen if Pakistan People’s Party emerged a winner in the elections and mounted a bid to oust him with the support of Sharif’s party. “If that happens, let me assure you that I would be leaving office before they would do anything.” (Posted @ 10:45 PST)
