who else used to support Musharraf?

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

And you support Mushrraf b/c you think he is fighting terrorists? Let us look back, the man has be in charged of armed forces since 1997 when he was appointed as an army chief. The army has been under his direct or indirect contorl for over decade now. What has changed?

Army and jihadis were and still are in bed, and he fools no none except maybe those who think he is the savior of Pakistan, and by definition defending Pakistan from Taliban take over. The radicalization of illiterate tribes is doing of army on both sides of Afghan/Pakistan border...and army is 110% responsible for creating this jihadi monster.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

and what happend to you? did i said something to you!!!

Joke aside, Musharf is the one who is creating & harbouring terrorists ( racial or religiouist), he is using "dead-bodies" of Lal-Masjid, Wazirstan and now Swaat to potray himself as the "Last-Man-Standing against terrorism".

If one looks at the big picture with broader mind frame ( which small/regional aur ethinic based parties cannot think of) it is clear that all these above mentioned dramas are played by him to stay in Power.. nothing more his intentions are... the sooner we learn the better it is... but i gues most of the nation has learned it only a few ( mufaad parast Lotay) dont want to learn...

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

i think his 'boogey man is gonna come' act is almost up. Even u.s. knows that he is not the only man for the job.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

I was a strong Musharraf supporter, I mean the guy had an agenda, a vision for Pakistan and its economy and he did actually manage to give a certain amount of stability during the last 7 or 8 years.

I'm rather confused, because I'm totally in disagreement with his current course of action, while at the same time he does seem the better option compared to thieves like BB, or dumbos like NS. But what he's done to Imran and Aitezaz Ahsan, and the fact that he shackled free media goes very much against him.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

i never supported musharraf before, i always wanted imran khan i liked his statements ot nawaz shirff, bhutto etc, but power got to him and after his u-turn by joining up with nawaz shirff, qazi, hamed gul i totaly lost respect for him and he looks like another power hungry dude.

my support for musharraf came after i saw how corrupt the oppersition was, and after i relized the double stadards of our people and how ignorant they are that they can elect nawaz shirf and bhutto and support a big thug like the ex thief justice ifitkar choudary.

maybe musharraf has somethings bad, but no one is 100%, he has certainly given pakistan more then any leader has since quaid-e-azam.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

never.

No one thought his autobiography was the turning point. You have to read it to understand this guys Christ complex.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

He was just trying to bring the opposition togather against musharraf. He is not a power hungry dude as most people think. And as far as Nawaz and bhutto are concerned, now people have a choice, a new person who is sincere to the nation. Now people have to make a choice....Nawaz, BB, and Imran. Now it is them who have to realize that they have no future with BB and Nawaz and they have to give Imran a chance.

But please don't compare Musharraf with Quaid-e-Azam. I am sure Quaid's rooh must be restless and literally tarping with what musharraf is doing to the country.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

May 12 was not terrorism, people were distributing flowers on streets of Karachi.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

Is someone totally forgetting Musharraf's u-turn about Benazir on how corrupt she was, how she looted the country and what not, one phone call and here comes NRO and Benazir lands in Pakistan etc.... something doesn't make sense here.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

But 6 yrs of greatness, 1 year of misery and we abandon ship? Not good, let's hang on more and see...

He's still a hero to many.

Interesting to note that support has gone the other way round for many too.

Option 1 honestly, hard as we may try the other options are suicidal beyond perception. Option 7 is good but unrealistic both in approach and chances.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

Well described suhaib!

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

^ read my reply to his post above yours :)

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

It took 11 years of Zia, and 12 years of pseudo-democracies, total 23 years to create this monster of religious intolerence and extrimism. You expect Musharaf to weed it out in a month or two of emergency rule???

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

If it took him so many years just to firgure out that Mullahs are a B team of the Army than it would be better for him if he quits plitics and finds some other hobby to kill his time.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

I used to support him up until this year. The reason he fell out of favor are the following:

1. His continued backtracking on his own words regarding him stepping down and taking off his uniform. There has to a be limit and its time he walks away from army and politics. He has very much damaged the institution of Army. Never was Pakistan Army as hated in Pak's history as it is hated now under his "leadership".

2. His secret deals with Benazir whom he called "a traitor" even in his own book. He is no longer a man or principles.

3. May 12 murder of Pakistani citizen in Karachi. His complete silence. Was any of the murders ever arrested and brought to justice. Whenever there is a suicide bombing, the perpetrators are found within hours and linked to some extremist. Why has no one been brought to justice in the May 12 murders. Mind you it was done in broad daylight on the streets.

4. His handling and prolonging of Lal Masjid and using it as diversionary measure for his open political ends.

5. And ofcourse the Martial LAw of Nov 3 and arrest of thousands of citizen of Pakistan. Including the one man I have a high regards and respect for: Imran Khan

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

No we are not, all we are asking Musharraf is sincerity in doing what he is claiming to do, simple as that.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

For that you need time but who is willing to give him time…???
He has done so much for pakistan…but na shukree quam can only remember few mistakes… cut him some slack people…you guys are acting like no leader has ever made mistakes…
Pakistani awaam jazbati quam… they are so eager to get rid of him without even thinking who will come next.
Is the next person gonna be able to tackle with militancy,will be able to give us assurance that our land will not be used as terrorist hub…
*But who care every body is so ready to jump in and put down their hatred against him. *
I feel sorry for my country and for Gen musharaf that he has to deal with people like us who suffer from memory loss and who are Thankless people.

*I SUPPORT HIM *

Pakistan zindabad :jhanda:

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?


Sincerity does not demand time, I don't think we should've waited for 2 major incidents like Lal Masjid and Swat (the most recent ones) to come to that conclusion.

He has done good and he has done bad, its your judgement which makes you think which one outweights which one.

If we wait to continue for next eligible candidate then chances are we will die as we are and probably even next generation will be facing same situation. Leaders will not land from moon, they will develop when environment is made available, unless you are thinking of another military regime.

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

you can refer to 5abi’s post to refresh memory…

Re: who else used to support Musharraf?

There was no extremism during BB or NS era atleast not even a fraction of the degree that exists now. There were no insurgencies in FATA, no Taliban in Swat. Hell not even before 2005. It all sprang up in last 2 years of Musharraf rule. There was not a single suicide bombing in 1999, only 4 during 2006 and 45 in this year.
