Now Musharraf should do need to wipe and root out elements like Taliban, Al Kaida and thier buddies.
Also corrupt politician like Bhutto Sahrif and their alike.
With a heavy hand. Last Chance dont miss it Mushraff.
Anon above:
Or maybe Mush should put a gun to his own head and blow his brains out and things WILL turn better.
Right. So where and when did history teach us how to win by betting on a lame horse? And a lame horse such as this, which kicks its owner for its own lameness.
i wrote in watandost when CJ was first removed that he would never come back. well it did not exactly happen like that. it was touch and go ever since he was reinstated. the corrupt military has struck again. musharraf,s name will go down worse than yahya khan and jen niazi. fazl ur rehman shujaat patry and those who caused to bring back 17th ammedment just to keep this man in power for ever have darkened their names for ever for committing this eternal sin. pakistan is indeed a failed state by all standards, and so is its entire machinary, and corrupt army who has sworn oath to defend costitution, and not suprisingly has caused to demolish it. in entire world only examples are burma and perhaps no-one else. if military does not do what it is supposed to do wich i am suer it wont and democratic principals and rules are not established the very existance of this country will remain in serious doubt. finally just to the first writer that this corrupt government wrote off 53 billion rupees worth of loans to 50 richest and corrupt people in your country, i donot know what you are talking about.
