LAHORE: Former president General (retired) Pervez Musharraf has said he will be willing to take the president’s office once again if the country’s political and economic affairs continue their downward spiral.
Interviewed by the Al-Jazeera television channel, he said that he would mull over the chance of returning to his previous position if he thought he could play a meaningful role for the country.
Musharraf told Al-Jazeera that he had resigned because if he had continued he would have become ‘kind of an impotent president.’ He said he did not like sitting around uselessly and therefore chose to depart.
However, Musharraf said that since relinquishing his position, he was increasingly becoming ‘despondent’ about the country’s state of affairs, especially the situation in Swat, where the Taliban had been allowed by the government to introduce sharia law.
The former president said the Taliban were now a far greater threat to Pakistan than Al Qaeda. He slammed the US for the ‘trust deficit’ between the two countries. Musharraf said President Barack Obama was not very different from his predecessor and had not helped change the US mind-set towards Pakistan.
What Pakistan is today is due to stupid retard policies for 9 years of his illegal rule. For God sake enjoy your looted wealth of Pakistan and leave alone the poor country. Paki leaders aasay baigharat hain un ko zara sharam nahin aati.
That ******* had sold Pakistan in peanuts just to continue his tyrant rule, gain his palaces, form houses, plots, agricultural lands and big hounse in the land of Uncle Sam. Magar sooaron ka pet itna aasani say nahin bharta jab tak woh jahanam raseed no hon.:)

True he is personall responsible for killing of million of muslims in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan. He sold Pakistani Nationals for money to USA . Not even kids and women were spared ( Aafia Siddique case)
Atleast, he was not corrupt personally like zardari.
He had the ability to face the world leaders courageously. Times and again, he spoke in front of whole world media whether in pak or outside pak or even in india to plead the case of pakistan. Is there anybody in the whole current govt who could do that. Not at all!
He spoke many times outrageously against the militants in pakistan with a strong voice and a will. Everybody is seeing the stance of current pak govt in front of militants and the whole world.
Re: Musharraf willing to return to the helm of power
Musharraf and Zardari are cut from the same cloth. Both gave each other leaning shoulder in the time of dire need. Zardari has so far saved him from prosecution and meanwhile kept the dictatorial powers of 58-2b, and Musharraf gave all the convicts a clean rap sheet in the shape of NRO. Now every convicted thug/crook is eligible to become the voice for the people.
-1 for Musharraf for NRO, jailing innocent civilians, dismissing SCJ, trampling over constitution and then admitting doing it right on the television before the nation.
-1 for Zardari for following Musharraf policies 98% of the time, except he wasn’t able to suppress public opinion and discontent and thus the resulting 2% where he differed from Musharraf.
Pakistan does not want Musharraf to come back, when will he get the message? He was humiliated and kicked from power for heavens sake, and he somehow feel that the can transform into the knight with shiny armor all over again?
Historically a deposed dictator rarely re-enters politics(atleast in Pakistan), and i believe that to be true for this General turned dictator turned ex-President as well. Can’t blame him for still having a little lust left for power though, who wouldn’t…
Re: Musharraf willing to return to the helm of power
According to my information Musharraf is disposing all which he have in Pakistan and he is leaving only his soul here which perhaps now entered on N$ body now a days.
… BTW Zardari is fruit of Musharraf
