Re: President Musharraf addresses nation
Yeah sure she may have killed him, I cannot disagree. But then again he was'nt the leader of a major opposition party nor is she a general who had absolute power as a tyrant over the country. Nor did she have the benefit of the intelligence agencies systamatically rigging elections. Nor did she declare martial law or gag the media or nearly destroy the country in a civil war. Say what you want about her, she did have some vote base. The PPP (for whatever reason) has\had many loyal followers. The truth about Mushy? Take away the army and ISI propping him up and he would'nt last 5 minutes. He literally might not get 5000 votes in a free and open election if he were running for President against someone. If he did what Nawaz Sharif did (travel in a unarmoured SUV without police protection) he would be dead in 20 minutes - so much does the comman man love our little tyrant.
if we take IRI surveys as te truth which we did not back in july 06 but did take seriously in fall 2007, he had 22-24% support in pakistan. thats a little more than 5000 I think.
